The paper intends to analyze Nicolai Hartmann's relationship with phenomenology. It has not yet been sufficiently recognized how the detachment from Neo-Kantianism coincided with the adoption of the phenomenological method. In the first instance, we show how Hartmann's original interpretation of phenomenology does not operate any suspension of reality but leads to a phenomenological realism. Secondly, we want to highlight some questions regarding the problem of phenomenological consciousness, with particular reference to the complicated relationship between immanence and transcendence within phenomenology.
