This article examines the theme of philosophical anthropology as developed in the works of Edmund Husserl and his students, Edith Stein and Hedwig Conrad-Martius. I first establish whether or not one finds a philosophical anthropology in Husserl’s works. I then argue that though no philosophical anthropology exists, one discovers in Husserl a response to the question: Who is the human being? Edith Stein explicitly maintains that one could build a philosophical anthropology based on Husserl’s use of the phenomenological method and his descriptions of the human being. The same claim is also made by Hedwig Conrad-Martius. The two women phenomenologists develop their phenomenological arguments within a metaphysical framework. Stein, however, builds a strictly philosophical argument, whereas Conrad-Martius uses the natural sciences and biology to justify her position.
