"A valuable contribution to the existing literature on Edith Stein. These quality essays are written by a well-established international network of commentators and translators of Stein." âElisabeth Young-Bruehl, author of Hannah Arendt: For Love of the World "We badly need this new book on Edith Stein, so that we may ponder how a brilliant Jewish woman in Weimar Germany could become a Carmelite nun, yet retain a vivid Jewish identity and close ties to her family. The essays help us synthesize Stein's troubling legacy as an accomplished philosopher, a Catholic saint, a Jewish daughter, and a stubborn feminist who was trapped in very dark times indeed." âDeborah Hertz, Herman Wouk Chair in Modern Jewish Studies, University of California at San Diego, and author of Jewish High Society in Old Regime Berlin "Readers will be fascinated by this multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art, well-contextualized essay collage on the life and writings of Edith Stein. A remarkable woman in every respect, the deeply spiritual Edith Stein crossed many seemingly uncrossable boundariesânational, linguistic, religious, intellectualâin her search for understanding of the human condition. This volume, ably orchestrated by Joyce Berkman, provides English-language readers an excellent introduction to a brilliant, complex, twentieth-century European woman: intellectual, philosopher, feminist, Jew, Christian, and Catholic saint." âKaren Offen, Ph.D., Institute for Research on Women and Gender, Stanford University Controversy surrounding the beatification and canonization of Edith Stein, a Catholic convert of Jewish heritage who was murdered at Auschwitz, has eclipsed scholarly and public attention to Steinâs extraordinary development as a philosopher. Divided into three sectionsâbiographical explorations, Stein's feminist theory and pedagogy, and her creative philosophical contributionsâthe sixteen essays in this volume represent the first comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis in English of Steinâs life and philosophical writings.
