This volume aims to contextualize the development and reception of Husserl's idealism by placing him in dialogue with his most important interlocutors - his mentors, peers, and students. The response to Husserl's idealism is perhaps one of the best ways to explain the trajectory of the phenomenological movement. The move to idealism caused a schism between the early phenomenologists, although the division between the realist and the transcendental phenomenologists may not be as sharp or dogmatic as some believe. Reconsidering the idealism-realism debate also helps us to understand the relationship and differences between phenomenology and Neo-Kantianism. The contributions to this volume deal with Husserl's supposed turn from realism to idealism and the reactions to this turn. In detailing the nuances of these early interpretations and critiques of Husserl, this volume seeks to develop the backdrop against which his mature writings ought to be read, and to better understand and assess the merits of the philosophical positions and contributions of the members of the early phenomenological movement.

This book presents an introduction to the metaphysical philosophy of nature put forward by Hedwig Conrad-Martius (1888-1966). Providing a unique perspective on central issues in modern and contemporary theoretical biology and physics, it will be 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”—a phenomenological account of the essence of reality. His position centers on 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 at the heart of philosophical-theological discussions of e.g. the hermeneutical mandate of demythologization as well as the nature of evolution. Of special interest is his insistence on both nature’s self-actuating and evolving powers and a robust theory of creation. .
