biography

Ingarden studied mathematics and philosophy at the University of Lemberg with the Brentano student Kazimierz Twardowski . In 1912 he moved to the Georg August University of Göttingen , where he studied philosophy with the phenomenologist Edmund Husserl . In 1918 he received his doctorate under Husserl on "Intuition and intellect with Henri Bergson" at the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg . After his doctorate, Ingarden returned to Poland, where he was working on his habilitation , teaching mathematics, psychology and philosophy at a high school. In 1925 he became a private lecturer at the University of Lemberg and in 1933 he was appointed to a professorship there. In 1946 he was appointed to a chair at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. In 1949 he was banned from teaching as a result of the burgeoning Stalinism . In 1957 this ban was lifted again. Ingarden retired in 1963.

Scientific work

Ingarden devoted himself primarily to the phenomenological view of ontology and aesthetics . He dealt with the layered structure of categories of works of art, the schematic form of works of art and the synthetic nature of film. With his writings he also had a great influence on the later aesthetics of reception .

He was particularly interested in ontology. He laid down his philosophy of art in the two-volume work “The Controversy over the Existence of the World” (1947, 1948). In addition, he dealt with the philosophy of literature in "The literary work of art" (1931), the philosophy of film in "Notes on the art of film" (1957) and epistemology and aesthetics in "The position of epistemology in the system of philosophical sciences “(1925). Ingarden rejected the transcendental turn of the late Husserl . The later Solidarność philosopher Józef Tischner became Ingardens most important pupil .

He has written his works in Polish and German. He achieved his international fame primarily as an aesthetician.
