Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This article compares the strata-models of Roman Ingarden and Nicolai Hartmann, two philosophers who developed models for analyzing various art forms, particularly literature. Despite their contemporary work, the authors engaged in limited dialogue, and there is no in-depth comparison of their systems in secondary literature. The article aims to bridge this gap by presenting a detailed analysis of the differences between Ingarden's and Hartmann's models.

• Comparison of the strata-models and identification of their respective strengths and weaknesses.
• Analysis of the subdivisions within the "Real Foreground" in Hartmann's model and its corresponding strata in Ingarden's system.
• Examination of the differences in the subdivision of Ingarden's "Stratum of Depicted Objects" within Hartmann's model.
• Exploration of the absence of an equivalent stratum for Ingarden's "Stratum of Schematized Aspects" in Hartmann's system.
• Discussion of the consolidation of Hartmann's "Irreal Background" strata into a single stratum in Ingarden's system.
