Edith Stein's Finite and eternal Being. Identifying the Argument
Edith Stein's Finite and eternal Being is among her works the one in which the phenomenological and scholastic traditions are most closely united. In consequence, identifying its exact argument presents a challenge, to the phenomenologist and the scholastic alike. In this seminar we shall attempt to identify this argument through a close reading of the text with the help of scholars from different traditions and backgrounds.
