Edith Stein's life and thought intersect with many important
movements of life and thought in the twentieth century. Through her
life and eventual martyrdom, she gave witness to the primacy of
truth and faith in the face of political totalitarianism, and in
her philosophical works, she contributed to a synthesis of
phenomenological thought with the thought of Aquinas, while also
progressively advancing a compelling form of philosophical
personalism. As a result, Stein represents one of the most
important Catholic thinkers of the twentieth century and is a
figure of growing fascination and devotion among believers and
nonbelievers alike. The Personalism of Edith Stein is an
investigation of Stein's mature philosophical anthropology,
exploring her engagement with the thought of Aquinas and Thomism
while maintaining the phenomenological mode of investigation.
Through a careful examination of Stein's later works under the
themes of human nature, the human individual, and the human being's
relation to God, McNamara shows that Stein's mature personalism is
considerably expanded and substantiated by her assimilation of key
anthropological and metaphysical teachings of Aquinas and Thomism,
and, conversely, that Stein significantly develops and deepens
these same teachings through a phenomenological reconsideration of
each from a personalist perspective. As a whole, the study reveals
the profound accord between Stein's mature thought and the received
teachings of Aquinas, while yet carefully attending to the
remaining differences between them. Ultimately, the author proposes
that Stein imbues the teachings of Aquinas with a fundamental
personalization such that her mature anthropology can be understood
as a Thomistically informed personalism that represents a
significant, original contribution to the anthropological dimension
of the philosophia perennis.
