Beskrivning

The guideline that runs through all [Stein's] work is the inquiry into the question of the nature of the human person. Beginning with her dissertation on empathy and following through to the works of her maturity, the reader becomes aware of the thrust toward revealing the person as person, in its universality, transcending time and place and cultural milieu. Stein holds that phenomenology supplies the most effective means towards arriving at knowledge of what it means to be a person, and that phenomenological analysis can reveal the essential constitution of human-being-in-the-world...My purpose in this book is to remove the wrapping and lid from the gift that Edith Stein has given us and to say: 'Look! See what is inside.' In a first attempt in English to do this in a comprehensive way...I have indicated the need for ongoing study and critique.

'Sr. Mary Catherine Baseheart offers the first comprehensive critical study of the philosophy of Edith Stein. This definitive and thoroughly researched account establishes Stein's pioneering role as a phenomenologist, whose contributions to understanding the nature of human personality, gender, knowledge of other persons, various types of social and political communities were trenchant, original, and often ahead of its time. Throughout this study, Baseheart fluently integrates relevant aspects of Stein's experience, exploring the links between Stein's bold philosophical achievements and her lifelong search for truth and social justice. By clarifying the ways Stein's thought agreed with and differed from her two masters, Husserl and Aquinas, as well as her phenomenological peers, Baseheart pinpoints the key elements of Stein's independent and penetrating intellect. This work has a potentially wide and diverse audience. Trained philosophers, European intellectual historians, and those broadly interested in the life and work of Edith Stein will delight in Baseheart's clear and concise presentation of Stein's ideas.' Joyce Avrech Berkman, Professor of History, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
