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.
