  • More about The Ontological Roots of Phenomenology: Rethinking the History of Phenomenology and Its Religious Turn


Anna Jani explores the methodological commonalities between phenomenology and religiosity, drawing from the work of early phenomenologists influenced by Heidegger and Ricœur's critique. She argues that the ontological difference between being and beings provides a framework for phenomenologically describing the existential experience of religiosity.

In her groundbreaking work, "The Ontological Roots of Phenomenology: Rethinking the History of Phenomenology and Its Religious Turn," Anna Jani delves into the methodological underpinnings of phenomenology. By focusing on the concept of being, she explores the existential dimension of religiosity through the ontological distinction between being and beings. Jani's research demonstrates the intimate connection between phenomenology's methodological inquiries and its ontological origins.

Firstly, she examines the contributions of Hedwig Conrad-Martius, Roman Ingarden, and Edith Stein, highlighting their influence under Heidegger's guidance, particularly among Husserl's students. Secondly, she delves into Heidegger's reinterpretation of his earlier ideas following the "turn," encapsulated in the concept of the "new beginning of philosophical thinking" in the Contributions to Philosophy.

In the course of elucidating the distinction between being and beings, Jani's third hypothesis unveils an ethical dimension. Through her analysis of Ricœur's critique of Heidegger, she reveals the primordiality of the ethical aspect of action, shedding light on the ontological foundation of the hermeneutical-phenomenological situation.

This profound exploration of phenomenology's ontological roots offers a fresh perspective on the history of the discipline and its religious turn. Jani's work contributes to our understanding of phenomenology's philosophical significance and its role in exploring the depths of human experience.
