Phenomenology in the Critical Ontology of Nicolai Hartmann (1882–1950)

  • Herbert Spiegelberg
Chapter
Part of the Phaenomenologica book series (PHAE, volume 5/6)

Abstract

The right and the need to include Nicolai Hartmann in an account of the Phenomenological Movement, are by no means beyond dispute. His inclusion will have to be justified by his actual significance for the development of the Movement regardless of his own ambivalent relationship to it. In any event, the widespread picture of Hartmann as one of the central figures in the Phenomenological Movement badly needs revision in the light of the ascertainable facts.
