Edith Stein: A Philosophical Prologue de Alasdair MacIntyre

Edith Stein: A Philosophical Prologue

Autor Alasdair MacIntyre
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 aug 2007
MacIntyre is one of the major British philosophers of the post-war years. He is a convert to Roman Catholicism. Edith Stein was an intellectual of considerable importance in the period between the two World Wars, also canonised as a Saint. A Jewish convert to Catholicism, she died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Stein's published essays focused largely on the structure of the person and a careful articulation of the essential nature of community and its basis in our nature as persons. MacIntyre looks at Stein as both a theologian and philosopher, and reveals many of the fundamental issues in both disciplines.

Recenzii

"In this excellent new introduction, Professor Alasdair MacIntyre, one of our foremost philosophers, presents us with Edith the philosopher from her earliest years, through her work with Husserl, finishing with her conversion to Catholicism in 1922.  I found that the book seemed to work on three levels at once...This will be required reading." -Peter Tyler, Mount Carmel, July-Sept. 2010
"MacIntyre suceeds in making [Edith Stein's] work accessible and enormously interesting for the questions she raised." Gavin D'Costa, Journal of Jewish Studies
Title mention in The Catholic Weekly, August 2007
"This is an important and gripping book" Brett Gray, Theology, January 2008
'[MacIntyre] makes the philosophical disputes of the period accessible and relevant to our present concerns.' Mount Carmel
I warmly recommend this fine book to those educated common readers who want to delve deeper.
'This book gives a convincing account of what was "necessarily incomplete and one-sided" in Husserl's phenomenology, and of how Stein parted company with Husserl...attentive reading.' Lucy Beckett, Church Times, 03/11/2006
'...a comprehensive introduction to Edith Stein's works...Borden's work is clear and limpid in style, and provides a both easily accessible and thoughtful introduction to the major periods and topics on Stein's work. It is a perfect work of reference, both by its structure and by its select biography and well-constructed index...the book is informative, concise, sober and helpful throughout.'   Volume 70, Issue 2
"Among many other virtues of this study of Stein as thinker is MacIntyre's magnificent demonstration of how any philosopher must be situated in the context of where she studied, who her mentors were and the historical moment both inside and outside the academy. A bravo performance."
'In this excellent new introduction, Professor Alasdair Macintyre, one of our foremost philosphers presents us with Edith the philosopher...This fine account, drawing on previously established biographies...is as good a summary of the events of this part of her life as you will find in English.   ...Having just taught an undergraduate course on this subject I feel moved to include Edith in next year's course along with Wittenstein and Strawson...ultiamtely very enriching for the reader. ...[F]or anyone with a serious interest in Edith as philospher - or those with philosophical interests...this will be required reading.'
' Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the great names of contemporary philosophy.'   ' this study provides much food for thought. It is not often that such an extraordinary life is illuminated by the thoughts of such an outstanding philosopher.'
'Edith Stein is an example of a Christian thinker deeply engaged in the debates of her own day, and her work offers models and insights for addressing the questions of today.'
"a dense book, requiring slow and careful reading...it opens the eyes to the interest of Stein's early work and its context within the still too obscure world of Continental philosophy."
