Structuring the Phenomenological Field: Reflections on a Daubert Manuscript

  • Chapter
Phenomenology in Practice and Theory

Part of the book series: Phaenomenologica ((PHAE,volume 92))

Abstract

Even among phenomenologists, the name of the Munich philosopher, Johannes Daubert (1877–1947) is practically forgotten today. Up to now, his life and thought were shrouded in deep darkness. But thanks to Herbert Spiegelberg’s efforts to rescue his posthumous papers, it has become possible to publish here for the first time a text written by this highly original and extraordinary personality.

It should be noted that Daubert’s choice of this work was particularly appropriate, because this book already had been meant by its author to serve a double purpose. On the one hand, it elucidated a purely historical topic, while at the same time it sought to introduce the reader to Natorp’s own idealist philosophy.
