Beskrivning
There are few topics more central to philosophical discussions than the meaning of being, and few thinkers offer a more compelling and original vision of that meaning than Edith Stein (1891–1942). Stein’s magnum opus, drawing from her decades working with the early phenomenologists and intense years as a student and translator of medieval texts, lays out a grand vision, bringing together phenomenological and scholastic insights into an integrated whole. The sheer scope of Stein’s project in Finite and Eternal Being is daunting, and the text can be challenging to navigate. In this book, Sarah Borden Sharkey provides a guide to Stein’s great final philosophical work and intellectual vision. The opening essays give an overview of Stein’s method and argument, and they place Finite and Eternal Being both within its historical context and in relation to contemporary discussions. The author also provides clear, detailed summaries of each section of Stein’s opus, drawing from the latest scholarship on Stein’s manuscript. Edith Stein’s Finite and Eternal Being: A Companion offers a unique guide, opening up Stein’s grand cathedral-like vision of the meaning of being as the unfolding of meaning.

Sarah Borden Sharkey’s companion to Edith Stein’s Finite and Eternal Being is a clearly and beautifully written and fascinating read for students, scholars, and indeed anyone with an interest in Stein’s magnum opus. Its three initial essays, shedding light on the work’s argument, its context and its potential contributions to contemporary debates are deeply insightful and highly thought provoking. 'Essay III' could be studied on its own with a view of thinking through the implications of Stein’s work for a renewed understanding of metaphysics as ,first, the philosophy of being.The close reading of Stein’s text that follows is written by a master whose engagement with the work is long standing. She is unwilling to say things she cannot stand over, so when she is puzzled by Stein’s choices, she will let it shine through. This will facilitate future readings that have the advantage of knowing Borden’s introduction. For these reasons it will be the first port of call for many students of the Stein's work, and it will lay the foundation for many detailed investigations of the problemata listed in Essay III.
