Gerda Walther’s Phenomenology of Sociality, Psychology, and Religion, 2018

Informed by her own alleged mystical experiences, this work attempts to show how spiritual beings are distinct from merely psychical beings, and that mystical lived-experiences and their objects are can be distinguished from other forms of experience. Included here is a translation of the Introduction and Chapter 1 from the 1976 edition of Phänomenologie der Mystik. These chapters outline her phenomenological approach to the study of mystical experience and her concept of the ego.

This group, who came together to study the work of Edmund Husserl, was responsible for the establishment and spread of the phenomenological movement. However, Koyré's place within this group and how his early training in phenomenology impacted his later works has not been fully explored. He left no autobiography. The accounts we do have tend to emphasize the impact of Adolf Reinach and realist phenomenology on Koyré's intellectual development and downplay the influence of Husserl and his transcendental phenomenology. After working with Husserl for roughly 3 years, Koyré submitted a draft–dissertation on the paradoxes of set theory. Husserl rejected the dissertation, and Koyré subsequently moved to Paris. Despite this change in location, Koyré kept in contact with his former Göttingen colleagues and, as I will show, never abandoned his phenomenological roots. Moreover, there is reason to believe that the historical–epistemological works that Koyré has become known for are a continuation of and a response to Husserlian phenomenology.

Like Kant before him, Husserl dedicated a significant portion of his writings to arguing that his transcendental position does not devolve into the metaphysical forms of idealism which had manifested in the early modern period.

Her own training and inclination as a realist phenomenologist enables a unique perspective on central issues in modern and contemporary (twentieth century) theoretical biology and physics. Here we find novel theories of, e.g., space and time, as well as development and evolution. This work is thus of interest to anyone studying the history of the phenomenological movement as well as religious cosmology. The philosophical basis for this cosmology is Conrad-Martius’ “realontology” which is a phenomenological account of the essence of appearing reality. The full elaboration of the modes of appearing of what is real enables the unfolding of an analogical theory of “selfness” within the order of nature culminating in an account of the coming to be of humans, for whom there is an essentially distinctive world- and self-manifestation for which she reserves the term “spirit.” Key to her position is the revival of ancient metaphysical themes in new transformed guises, especially potentiality and entelechy. Nature’s status, as a self-actuation of world-constituting essence-entelechies, places Conrad-Martius in the middle of philosophical-theological discussions of, e.g., the hermeneutical mandate of demythologization as well as the nature of evolution. Of special interest is her insistence on both nature’s self-actuating and evolving powers and a robust theory of creation.”
