Emundts 2012 book Erfahren und Erkennen:Hegels Theorie der Wirklichkeit is the revised version of her Habilitationsschrift from 2009,in which she puts forward her interpretation of Hegel's theoretical philosophy. The book is mainly focused on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit . According to Emundt:"for Hegel,truth can not be purely conceptual",but the non-conceptual element belonging to experience,is necessary,since conceptual principles can only be developed,when there is something external to them,that can be realized according to those principles. In refining what has been said about the first chapter of the Phenomenology,Emundt argues that the "Sense Certainty" position fails,not because it's committed to making non-conceptual reference,to singular items of sensory experience,but because it can not assert that an object exists,without referring to it in an extended period of time,and thereby making it universal. In the case of "Perception" chapter,the position similarly fails,not because of the contradiction between an object and its properties,but "a universal that perseveres despite the diversity of the singular". In the book Emundts also criticizes Kant's philosophy,according to which our knowledge of objects becomes infallible. The book has been reviewed by Angelica Nuzzo, [9] Brady Bowman, [10] Holger Glinka [11] [12] and Eva Deitert. [13]
