Adolf Bernhard Philipp Reinach
Described by Hedwig Conrad-Martius as "the phenomenologist in itself and as such", Reinach was a central figure of the early phenomenological movement, and a proponent of the realist phenomenology of the Munich Circle. His background consisted of a tripartite education: descriptive psychology (under Theodor Lipps), law (in Munich and Tübingen), and philosophy (under Husserl). Examples of the integration of all three of these aspects of his thought include his articles "The Apriori Foundations of Civil Law," "Toward the Theory of Negative Judgment," "On the Concept of Causality in the Criminal Law", and in his immense, continued interest in speech acts, states of affairs (Sachverhalt), and material necessity. Reinach died on the battlefield of WWI.

Between 1906 and 1913 Adolf Reinach wrote a considerable amount on the subject of ethics. Some of his work on that subject was published during his lifetime, while other parts survive only as transcripts from his lectures. This compilation brings together three pieces of work by Reinach dealing with ethics, published in English version for the first time. The first of these pieces shows Reinach’s early interest in developing a phenomenological ethics. The second, an article on ‘the ethical and legal significance of reflection’, published in 1911-13 has Reinach discuss the experience of reflection (Überlegung) as a problem for both ethics and for certain sections of the contemporaneous criminal law. The third piece contains a series of discussions on existing moral theories and Reinach’s own work towards a phenomenological ethics.
