The Young Idealist YouTube Channel, “The Life and Thought of the Phenomenologist and Philosopher: Hedwig Conrad-Martius with Randolph Dible” (January 24, 2025)
YouTube link: https://youtu.be/dy98bb3pw2U?si=EJO7X7d_1Ot2FZyc
Description: The following video is a continuation of my series on Classical German Philosophy and Post-Kantian Thought. …Randy Dible discusses Conrad-Martius’ unique relationship with Edith Stein, and Edmund Husserl. He fleshes out the origins of the society that Conrad-Martius would help create with several students and young academics; and magically gives us access into the pilgrimage of an of important apple orchard centered around the lives and thinkers in Bergzabern. Randy also gives us a lucid discussion on Conrad-Martius’ ideas on creation, the body, the soul, followed by an interesting critique of Heidegger’s Existential Phenomenology. What he does extremely well, is highlight the three forms of Phenomenology that Conrad-Martius conceives: from Husserl’s Transcendental Phenomenology; continued onward by Fink, to Heidegger’s Existentialist Phenomenology. And last but not least, Randy outlines the main ideas behind HCM “Real-Ontology” that was intended to grasp the true intuition of essence/reality. Randy’s presentations reveals how Conrad-Martius pushed the envelope of thought. This movement of thought involves a detailed analysis of HCM’s work in phenomenology and the later expansion of phenomenology disclosed as a universal ontology. This will be an exciting episode for those interested in phenomenology and women philosophers.

New Voices Talk Series: Phenomenology and Metaphysics: “Hedwig Conrad-Martius’ Universal Ontology”
“Hedwig Conrad-Martius’ Universal Ontology,” New Voices Talk Series: Phenomenology and Metaphysics, Paderborn Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists, May 3, 2023.
Description: Hedwig Conrad-Martius (1888-1966) is gaining recognition as an important representative of early phenomenological realism, but her philosophy transcends that designation. Conrad-Martius’ realism is housed in a reformed classical philosophical universalism, and this becomes especially evident in her late project of universal ontology. Universal ontology is an ontological account of everything—“absolutely everything”—that there is: “Not only] material, formal and categorical objects, not only real and ideal… not only purely fictitious objects, but… also purely conceptual objects, that is, objects to which nothing actually objective corresponds” (Das Sein, 40). To better appreciate her contribution, I will describe this late project, and contextualize it in terms of her spirituality, her cosmology, and her influences and resonances.
