Essence and existence in Roman Ingarden's phenomenology

Nancy Mardas

pp. 183-198

In her doctoral dissertation, completed in 1957, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka sets out in exhaustive and painstaking detail the seminal and long-overlooked work of Roman Ingarden on the relation between essence and existence.2 Ingarden brings these two notions into play in a unique way, turning them upside-down and inside-out, to illuminate anew their significance for ontology and metaphysics. By shaking from these terms the dust of tradition, we are able to see them clearly for the first time, to see how essence and existence are related, and where their differences lie.
