Timothy Jaeger received his B.A. in philosophy and political science, with a minor
in economics,
from Salve Regina University in 2021 and his M.A. in philosophy from Boston College
in 2024. His primary interests focus on the early phenomenological movement, especially
prominent figures in the Munich and Göttingen Schools like Max Scheler, Adolf Reinach,
Hedwig Conrad-Martius, Dietrich von Hildebrand, Edith Stein, and Helmuth Plessner,
and their uniquely realist approach to phenomenological methodology. His current research
focuses on developing the method of realist phenomenology, particularly in connection
to philosophical anthropology, personalism, and phenomenology of religion.
