Reading Room Update – This and that

Below is a list (and a few comments on) of the latest additions to our Reading Room. Most of these items are quite small, but are either interesting or obscure enough to warrant posting. In this post you will find the (near) complete bibliographic information data for many of these pieces, whereas in the Reading Room the link will not include these.
I have also not included links to the articles in this post. If you would like to view them, please go to the Reading Room. If you find that any of the links are broken, please let us know.

Note that this is not the complete piece from the Jahrbuch. I was only able to obtain part of the work.

Reading Room Update – Works by Edith Stein, Hans Lipps, and Richard Vollmer

Now in the Reading Room you find find copies of the dissertations of Edith Stein and Richard Vollmer, as well as an essay by Hans Lipps.

While Waltraut Stein’s English translation of On the Problem of Empathy is easy to access, the German version can be a bit harder to find. This being the case, I have posted Zur Problem der Einfuehlung (1917) on this site.
For those interested in the non-extant first section of Stein’s dissertation, you may want to read Karl Schuhmann‘s essay “Husserls Exzerpt aus der Staatsexamensarbeit von Edith Stein,” Tijdschrift voor Filosofie 53 (1991), pp.686-699.

Sadly, the copy of Richard Vollmer’s dissertation, Beitraege zur Kritik der phaenomenologischen Methode (1929), is incomplete. The physical copy of this text was in such poor condition, I was not able to reproduce the entire text. You will find only the first 39 pages on our site.
Vollmer’s dissertation was written under the supervision of Paul Ferdinand Linke and Bruno Bauch, and is dedicated to Leonard Nelson. You can find a brief write up about Nelson, Aus dem Schatzkästlein des Husserl-Archivs: Ein bisher unbekanntes Porträt von Edmund Husserl, by Peter Andras Varga here.

Finally, I have included Das Ding und seine Eigenschaften (1927) by Hans Lipps. This is the first essay included in critical edition of H. Lipps’ Werke – Volume I: Untersuchungen zur Phänomenologie der Erkenntnis.
