 The meetings of the Society dealt with a broad range of issues at the intersection of philosophy and psychology. Some of the topics discussed in the initial years are: “the sensations and the contents of consciousness as objects of psychology” (1895), “the theory of feelings and striving” (1895–1896), “the definition of psychology” (1896), etc. (Schuhmann 2000: 19f). In addition to Lipps, other senior figures of the circle were Alexander Pfänder, Max Ettlinger, and Johannes Daubert. In the decades after its foundation, a rapidly growing community of young students partook in the activities of the Society. These students included (in alphabetical order): Maximilian Beck, Alfred Brunswig, Theodor Conrad (nephew of Theodor Lipps), Aloys Fischer, August Gallinger, Moritz Geiger, Dietrich von Hildebrand, Paul Linke, Karl Loewenstein-Freudenberg, Karl Löwith, Adolf Reinach, Hermann Ritzel, Herman Schmalenbach, Otto Selz, Alfred Schwenninger, Gerda Walther, and Czesław Znamierowski (Avé-Lallemant 1975a; Smid 1982). It is worth noting that Max Scheler, who had been teaching in Munich since 1906, also participated in these meetings. Scheler’s philosophy followed its own peculiar trajectory within the history of phenomenology and deeply influenced the members of the Munich and, later on, Göttingen circle.
