Eugénie Ginsberg

Eugénie Ginsberg or Eugénie Ginsberg-Blaustein (1905-1944

Background Ginsberg was one of the few women who studied under Twardowski and was part of the second generation of the Twardowski School along with Janina Hosassion-Lindenbaum, Izydora Dąmbska, and Maria Kokoszyńska-Lutmanowa, among others. She was also one of the women appointees when Twardowski established the Lvov-Warsaw School.

Ginsberg and Blaustein were married on June 30, 1930.

Works Ginsberg's dissertation, On the Concepts of Existential Dependence and Independence, was published in 1931 during the anniversary of the Polish Philosophical Society. This is her only surviving work. In the paper, Zur Husserlschen Lehre von den Ganzen und den Teilen (On Husserl's Theory of Wholes and Parts), Ginsberg discussed six of Husserl's theories. She offered proofs to theorems 1 and 3, validated theorem 5, but countered the three others. This group's work mainly focused on aesthetics and descriptive psychology. Later, her ideas on existential dependence and other connected concepts have been applied by other theorists in the field of psychology.
