En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the intersection of natural and human sciences, the book delves into Edith Stein's insights on the legibility of our worlds and the unique reading strategies they inspire. Stein, who worked with Husserl, sought a unified foundation for both social and physical sciences, emphasizing the role of human bodily life in understanding natural causality and cultural motivation. Her early scholarly contributions, overshadowed by her later religious works and the rise of National Socialism, warrant renewed attention as her church moves toward her canonization.
