Abstrakt
The paper argues that the Munich-Göttingen Phenomenology group, for historical and philosophical reasons, was not concerned with implementing a counter-program to Husserl, but with attempting to complement him, as the work of Conrad-Martius in particular shows. Her work can serve as a guideline for dealing with the concept of reality, which is included in the superficially used label of realism, especially since for Conrad-Martius 'reality' forms a central topic of her philosophy of nature and the cosmic.
In a first step, the article traces how Conrad-Martius approaches the theme of reality methodically and how she determines reality phenomenologically. In a second step, her results are confronted with contemporary attempts to revive a philosophical realism.
