Abstract
This article discusses the main arguments of Hedwig Conrad-Martius against the worldview (Weltanschauung) of idealism in connection to her phenomenological idea of reality. The discussion focuses on her most far-reaching critical argument concerning the damage caused by idealism to the possibility for metaphysics by turning the real (das Wirkliche) into the ideal (Ideelles), thereby reducing reality to an idea. This article analyses Conrad-Martius’ understanding of the evolution of idealism and of her criticism regarding the metaphysical absolutizing of the ideal in idealism. Her subsequent response to idealism attempts to rehabilitate the facticity (Faktizität) of real reality (wirkliche Wirklichkeit) within metaphysics.
