Ethics and Metaphysics in the Philosophy of Edith Stein (eBook, PDF)

Applications and Implications

Redaktion: Andrews, Michael F.; Calcagno, Antonio

Beschreibung

This book is dedicated to Edith Stein (1891-1942), who is known widely for her contributions to metaphysics. Though she never produced a dedicated work on questions of ethics, her corpus is replete with pertinent reflections.

This book is the first major scholarly volume dedicated to exploring Stein's ethical thought, not only for its wide-ranging content, from her earlier to later works, but also for its applications to such fields as psychology, theology, education, politics, law, and culture. Leading international scholars come together to provide a systematic account of Stein's ethics, highlighting its relation to Stein's highly developed and complex metaphysics. Questions about the good, evil, the rights and ethical comportment of the person, the state, and feminism are addressed.

The book appeals to scholars interested in the history of philosophical and ethical thought
