Hedwig Conrad-Martius 1888 – 1966
Hedwig Conrad-Martius (1888 – 1966) was a German philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Phenomenology and Christian Philosophy.
Hedwig Conrad-Martius was a German Catholic phenomenologist and one of the leading figures of the Munich-Gottingen circle around Husserl and Reinach. A friend of Edith Stein, with whom she shared a long philosophical conversation, she developed in her Real Ontology, Time, and The Self-Construction of Nature a phenomenology that moves resolutely from the description of appearances to the metaphysical analysis of being itself. Forbidden to teach during the National Socialist period because her husband was Jewish, she returned to academic life only in 1949 with an honorary professorship at Munich. Her work has shaped subsequent Catholic phenomenology and the philosophical reception of biology.
