Edith Stein's interests were extremely varied: politics, ethics, anthropology, teaching skills, theory of knowledge, metaphysics, religion, and many more. But although this fact constitutes the richness of her work and opens up vast areas of investigation to the researcher, it also constitutes a major difficulty for the reader wishing to become more familiar with an oeuvre that is not easily accessible. The vast nature of the issues she treats, and the highly personal nature of Stein's work, together pose the problem of finding an approach that will lead to an understanding of its unity. Yet Edith Stein herself points to the centre of gravity of her intellectual and spiritual itinerary: "The constitution of the human person". The coherence of Edith Stein's intellectual and existential commitment resides precisely in that constant quest for the truth about mankind, which gradually increases in understanding of the human person and the realization of the meaning of being. This book identifies an axis that runs throughout Edith Stein's anthropological thinking - thinking that cannot be accessed without a vital approach, because it is, above all, a path of unification based on the human person's inner life. What Edith Stein has to say about the human person brings us to the heart of the anthropological challenge of our times: "Who is man, and what does it signify to live with all the meaning of his being in an authentic manner?" This question addresses all of us, because no one can avoid questioning the sense of his own life if he wants to live his human existence as fully as possible. As we listen to Edith Stein, we discover a close guide and a friend who opens up a path enlightened by inner freedom, and life lived to the full.
