In The Ontological Roots of Phenomenology: Rethinking the History of Phenomenology and Its Religious Turn, Anna Jani examines the common methodological background of phenomenology. Through attention to the phenomenon of being, the existential experience of religiosity can be phenomenologically described by the ontological difference between being and beings. Jani demonstrates that the methodological inquiries connect closely with the ontological source of phenomenology. First, she elaborates on the contributions of Hedwig Conrad-Martius, Roman Ingarden, and Edith Stein from the point of view of Heidegger’s influence on the early phenomenologists from Husserl’s students. Second, she analyzes Heidegger’s reinterpretation of his own earlier thinking after the “turn,” which is formulated in the idea of the “new beginning of philosophical thinking” in the Contributions to Philosophy. In the context of clarifying the difference between being and beings, her third hypothesis about Ricœur’s critique of Heidegger reveals an ethical level. The primordiality of the ethical dimension of the action reveals the ontological foundation of the hermeneutical-phenomenological situation.

Anna Jani’s The Ontological Roots of Phenomenology: Rethinking the History of Phenomenology and Its Religious Turn is a synthesis of traditional scholarship, contemporary philosophy of religion, and open-minded philosophical reasoning. On the complex scene of contemporary phenomenological trends, Anna Jani focuses on the ontological question before and after Edmund Husserl’s philosophy. She points out that phenomenologies of religion—from Adolf Reinach through Edith Stein to Paul Ricœur—underpinned various efforts to reestablish the ontological commitment of phenomenology. Hermeneutics appears in this context as the method of finding the ontological roots of phenomenology from Dilthey to Dan Zahavi. With her fresh and deep work Anna Jani continues her explorations of the varieties of religious experience and assists the reader with new motivations to continue this path of research. Her overarching understanding of the history and the problems of phenomenology and hermeneutics helps the readers understand the contemporary philosophical situation in and beyond Continental Thought.
