James G. Hart (b. 1936) did a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago after research in Munich on Hedwig Conrad Martius. He taught at Indiana University, Bloomington (USA) from 1971-2001 in the Department of Religious Studies. His writings have been primarily in the area of phenomenology; his teaching was primarily in the philosophy of religion and peace studies. Since retirement he has spent his energy on philosophy and on reform of the criminal justice system.
From the reviews: "James G. Hart's ! presents the results of several decades of research on self- and personhood, combining transcendental phenomenology and existential philosophy. ! focuses on the core of the personal 'I.' Hart calls this core Existenz. ! Hart has undoubtedly given us a thought-provoking study that enriches many ongoing debates and deserves increasing scholarly attention.Its two volumes belong to the most impressive, comprehensive, and innovative works in this field. I appreciate the breadth and insight of this work and heartily recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn more about who one is ! ." (Claudia Welz, Philosophy Today, 2010) " In this large two-volume book, James Hart offers the reader an insightful and comprehensive treatment of the perplexing manner in which we, each of us, are aware of our own selves. The book is comprehensive in two senses: in regard to the topics treated, and in regard to the authorities invoked. (...) His book could serve as a reference work for someone who wished to explore this topic and wanted to know how it has been treated in philosophical and theological traditions other than his own." (Robert Sokolowski, School of Philosophy, Catholic University of America)
