Early Phenomenology

This Series makes available important source materials from Austro-German philosophy relating to the foundations and background of currents of thought that shaped decisively the development of twentieth century philosophy. It is divided into four main sections, each of them containing materials or translations of otherwise inaccessible sources, supplemented by interpretative studies designed to establish the systematic implications, historical context, and contemporary relevance of the materials presented. The four sections are 1) Franz Brentano; 2) The School of Brentano (including Marty, Meinong, Twardowski, Ehrenfels, Husserl, and Stumpf); 3) Early phenomenology (including Scheler, Geiger, Pfänder, and Reinach.); and 4) Influences of Austro-German philosophy in other disciplines, especially in logic, linguistics, and theoretical psychology (from Bolzano to Bühler). The Series combines editions and translations of original and previously unpublished works with volumes having a stronger focus on interpretation, including both monographs and edited collections.

This Series has been established in response to the increasing interest in early phenomenology and early analytic philosophy of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It promotes publications, both new editions and interpretative works, relating to a period and a current of the history of nineteenth and twentieth century philosophy which is of central importance for both analytic philosophy and phenomenology, but which until quite recently has been almost completely neglected by both of these fields. 

The focus of this sub-series is on early phenomenology. It includes new editons and tranlations of previously unpublished works from early phenomenology, supplemented by monographs and edited collections that deal with the interpretation and evaluation of early phenomenology. The main focus of the series is on Munich phenomenologists, including Johannes Daubert, Adolf Reinach, Alexander Pfänder, Theodor Conrad, Hedwig Conrad-Martius, Moritz Geiger, Aloys Fischer, Alfred Brunswig and Else Voigtländer and on Göttingen-Freiburg phenomenologists, Wilhelm Schapp, Heinrich Hofmann, Herbert Leyendecker, Max Scheler, Edith Stein, Roman Ingarden and Jean Héring.
