Alfred Brunswig

After graduating from high school in Munich in 1896, Brunswig studied at the Universities of Munich and Berlin until he received his doctorate with Theodor Lipps in 1904. During this period, he adopted Lipps' psychologism. After studying with Edmund Husserl in Göttingen and Carl Stumpf in Berlin, he habilitated in Munich in 1910. He criticized Husserl's conception of evidence and intuition of essences.

Brunswig served in World War I and was awarded the Iron Cross, Second Class. He joined the University of Münster during the winter semester of 1916/17. Through his experiences at the front, where he was "constantly looking death in the eye", he found the "courage for metaphysics" and emphasized Christian faith and German nationalism. His interpretation of Leibniz in 1925 highlighted his role as a "Germanic thinker".Christian Tilitzki, Die deutsche Universitätsphilosophie in der Weimarer Republik und im Dritten Reich.
