“This excellent monograph will have a wide impact and will allow scholars from around the world to access an important critical study and original work of both early phenomenology and Conrad-Martius’ complex phenomenology. … Hart’s and Parker’s work is marked by rigour and sophisticated analysis. For those of us who have often struggled with grasping the core of Hedwig Conrad-Martius’ project, this volume is invaluable.” (Antonio Calcagno, Symposium, c-scp.org, October 04, 2021)
