Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before she was a saint she was a fine philosopher. Yet because she was a woman her contributions were ignored. This book asks the question: "Did Edith Stein make any important contributions to philosophy and, if so, what are the implications of them for us today?" It begins with a biography of Stein up until the acceptance of her doctoral dissertation "On the Problem of Empathy" in 1916. It then examines the phenomenology of Stein and, in exciting new research, demonstrates her contributions to 20th century philosophy as a whole. Finally, it looks at the feminist thought of Stein and its connection to "The Theology of the Body" of Pope John Paul II. Based upon an award winning thesis, here is a book that goes beyond looking at Stein's thought as a curiosity and instead makes a strong argument for her contributions to philosophy, feminism and "The Theology of the Body."

Book excerpt: Edith Stein lived an unconventional life. Born into a devout Jewish family, she drifted into atheism in her mid teens, took up the study of philosophy, studied with Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology, became a pioneer in the women's movement in Germany, a military nurse in World War I, converted from atheism to Catholic Christianity, became a Carmelite nun, was murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942, and canonized by Pope John Paul II. Renowned philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre here presents a fascinating account of Edith Stein's formative development as a philosopher. To accomplish this, he offers a concise survey of her context, German philosophy in the first decades of the twentieth century. His treatment of Stein demonstrates how philosophy can form a person and not simply be an academic formulation in the abstract. MacIntyre probes the phenomenon of conversion in Stein as well as contemporaries Franz Rosenzweig, and Georg Luckas. His clear and concise account of Stein's formation in the context of her mentors and colleagues reveals the crucial questions and insights that her writings offer to those who study Husserl, Heidegger or the Thomism of the 1920's and 30's. Written with a clarity that reaches beyond an academic audience, this book will reward careful study by anyone interested in Edith Stein as thinker, pioneer and saint.

Book excerpt: This thesis addresses the topic of the philosophical contributions of Edith Stein to the area of philosophy known as phenomenology. It examines Stein's life up until the acceptance of her doctoral dissertation On The Problem of Empathy in1916. A particular attention will be given to the years 1913 to 1915 when her dissertation was being conceived and written. The central question being: Did Edith Stein make any important independent contributions to the philosophy of phenomenology? Because Edith Stein was canonized a Saint by the Catholic Church in 1998 a great deal of research material has recently been made available on her life. Using these and other sources as evidence, this thesis will make the argument that Edith Stein did in fact make heretofore uncredited and important contributions to the area of philosophy known as phenomenology. This academic thesis from San Jose State University features breakthrough research on Edith Stein and won the "Outstanding Thesis from the College of Arts and Humanities" award in 2007 and inspired the best selling large print book and ebook "The Transposition of Edith Stein" in 2012.
