The “Religious Philosophy” of Jean Héring

The opening of the archives of Jean Hering (Strasbourg) allows us to take a fresh look at the man who was Husserl’s first French disciple and, incidentally, an active contributor to the RHPR for more than forty years. This article aims to recall the importance for him of his association with the philosophers of Husserl’s first circle (Koyre, Ingarden, Reinach), and to explain what, as a phenomenologist, Hering means by the term “religious philosophy”.
