Hans Lipps (22 November 1889 – 10 September 1941) was a German phenomenological and existentialist philosopher. ==Biographical sketch== Following his highschool graduation in Dresden in 1909, Lipps began studying art history, architecture, aesthetics and philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. In 1910-1911 while doing his military service in Dresden he continued his philosophical studies at Dresden's University of Technology. In the spring of 1911 he moved to Göttingen to study with Edmund Husserl. Together with Theodor Conrad and his wife, Hedwig Conrad-Martius, as well as Roman Ingarden and Fritz Kaufmann, Lipps belonged to the famous “Philosophical Society of Göttingen” that gathered around Husserl and Adolf Reinach. This society also included Edith Stein, who described the young Lipps as follows: “''He was very tall, slender but strong; his handsome, expressive face was fresh like a child’s and his big round eyes were earnest – questioning like a child’s eyes. He usually uttered his opinion in a short but definitive statement.''”〔Edith Stein, ''Werke'' VII: ''Aus dem Leben einer jüdischen Familie'', ed. by L. Gelber and Romaeus Leuven (Louvain: Nauwelaerts, 1965), p. 178.〕 Lipps also studied biology. In the winter of 1912 he completed a doctorate with a dissertation entitled “''About structural changes of plants in a modified medium''”, after which he began to study medicine. Between 1914 and 1918 he served in World War I as an assistant army physician. After the war he continued his interrupted studies in Göttingen and Freiburg i. Br. and completed his formal medical degree. In 1919 he received his license to practice medicine, and in 1920 he published a Ph.D. dissertation in medicine addressing “''... the effect of certain colchicine derivatives''”. In 1921 he completed his habilitation (qualification for professorship) under the mathematician Richard Courant, whom he had met through Edith Stein, with a dissertation entitled “''Investigations into the philosophy of mathematics''”. Lipps had close personal links with the philosophers Josef König, Helmuth Plessner, and Georg Misch. During the academic year 1923/24 he and Misch conducted a seminar on the theory of signification (hermeneutics). In 1928 Lipps substituted for the professor of philosophy at the University of Marburg. Having declined a professorship at the University of Santiago de Chile, he accepted in 1936 the position of Ordinarius (chair professor) of philosophy at the University of Frankfurt am Main. Throughout his academic career, Lipps continued occasionally to practice medicine, substituting alternatively for army physicians and country doctors. During the term breaks 1921/1922 and again 1930/1931, when he was already teaching as a professor, he served for extensive periods as a doctor in the navy, traveling to all continents except for Australia. In 1934 Hans Lipps joined the SS.〔Christian Tilitzki: Die deutsche Universitätsphilosophie in der Weimarer Republik und im Dritten Reich, Teil 1. Akademie Verlag, Berlin 2002 ISBN 978-3-050-03647-2, p. 636〕 According to Otto Friedrich Bollnow, Lipps did so to put a distance between himself and the NSDAP, submitting that SS was a purely military organisation.〔Waltraud Herbstrith: Edith Steins Unterstützer: Bekannte und unbekannte Helfer während der NS-Diktatur, Lit Verlag, Munster 2010 ISBN 978-3643107398, p. 83〕 At the beginning of World War II in September 1939 he was drafted to the military and served as an army doctor in France and Russia. He lost his life in a battle at Shabero/Ochwat on 10 September 1941 and was buried in the nearby cemetery of Dudino.〔See: Eberhard Avé-Lallemant, “Daten zu Leben und Werk von Hans Lipps,” in: ''Dilthey-Jahrbuch für Philosophie und Geschichte der Geisteswissenschaften'' 6 (1989), pp. 13-21 ().〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans Lipps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
