Beskrivning

MacIntyre is one of the major British philosophers of the post-war years. He is a convert to Roman Catholicism. Edith Stein was an intellectual of considerable importance in the period between the two World Wars, also canonised as a Saint. A Jewish convert to Catholicism, she died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Stein's published essays focused largely on the structure of the person and a careful articulation of the essential nature of community and its basis in our nature as persons. MacIntyre looks at Stein as both a theologian and philosopher, and reveals many of the fundamental issues in both disciplines.

"In this excellent new introduction, Professor Alasdair MacIntyre, one of our foremost philosophers, presents us with Edith the philosopher from her earliest years, through her work with Husserl, finishing with her conversion to Catholicism in 1922. I found that the book seemed to work on three levels at once...This will be required reading." -Peter Tyler, Mount Carmel, July-Sept. 2010
