Edith Stein has become almost a legend in recent years largely
because of her heroic personality and her death in Auschwitz at the
hands of the Nazis. She is known also as an eminent
German-jewish-Christian intellectual and feminist, but more in the
realm of the sacred than of the secular. Both are essential to
understanding her. To know the real Edith Stein one must have some
knowledge of her as philosopher, for philosophy was central to her
very being. For this reason the present work is designed to be of
interest to the general reader as well as to philosophers. Many of
the latter have given evidence of interest in Stein's phenomenology
and may welcome an introduction that gives clues to its substance
and quality. Those who knew Edith Stein personally and
professionally--Edmund Husser , Roman lngarden, Hedwig
Conrad-Martius, Peter Wust, and other friends at the universities
of G6ttingen and Freiburg--affirm her genius and her passionate
pursuit of truth in philosophy. james Collins, distinguished
American historian of philosophy, who discovered some of her works
about the time she died, wrote that "we may expect critical studies
on her philosophy to multiply rapidly with the issuance of her
collected works and the recognition of her high philosophical
genius."l The fact is that this has not happened, although fourteen
of her major works have been published posthumously by Nauwelaerts
and Herder, and many are available from other sources.
