Johannes Daubert

Realism Munich phenomenologists’ method of passive faithfulness to what is given in reality with no attempt at reductionism but seeking rather to apprehend each kind of entity on its own terms and to apprehend the relations between them on their own terms

The Munich School applied the realist ontological method sketched by Husserl in the Logical Investigations to different material domains: Reinach: Law Ingarden: Art and Aesthetics Stein: The State and the Individual Scheler: The Germans and the English
