Description

This volume explores the work and thought of Edith Stein (18911942). It discusses in detail, and from new perspectives, the traditional areas of her thinking, including her ideas about women/feminism,theology, and metaphysics. In addition, it introduces readers to new and/orunderstudied areas of her thought, including her views on history, and her social and political philosophy. The guiding thread that connects all the essays in this book is the emphasis on new approaches and novel applications of her philosophy. The contributions both extend the interdisciplinary implications of Steins thinking for our contemporary world and apply her insights to questions of theatre, public history and biographical representation, education, politics, autism, theological debates, feminism, sexuality studies and literature. The volume brings together for the first time leading scholars in five language-groups, including English, German, Italian, French and Spanish-speaking authors, therebyreflecting an international and cosmopolitan approach to Stein studies.
