Abstract
The phenomenological movement originates with Edmund Husserl, and two of his young students and collaborators, Edith Stein and Hedwig Conrad‐Martius, made a notable contribution to the very de‐ lineation of the phenomenological method, which pushed phenome‐ nology in a “realistic” direction. This essay seeks to examine the deci‐ sive in luence that these two thinkers had on two speci ic areas: the value of the sciences and certain metaphysical questions. Concerning the former, I maintain that Stein, departing from a philosophical, phenomenological analysis of the human being, is interested particu‐ larly in the formation of the cognitive value of the human sciences. Regarding the latter, Conrad‐Martius, given her knowledge of biolo‐ gy, tackled the question of the role and meaning of the sciences of na‐ ture. The second question, related to metaphysical themes, became a speci ic and relevant object of research for both women phenomenol‐ ogists. It will be investigated by comparing two works, one by each thinker, namely, the Metaphysische Gesprache by Conrad‐Martius and Potenz und Akt by Edith Stein.
