Edith Stein e Edmund Husserl. Scambi filosofici = Edith Stein and Edmund Husserl. Philosophical Exchanges

Abstract

This article reflects on Edith Stein and Edmund Husserl. Philosophical Exchanges by Angela Ales Bello (translated by Antonio Calcagno), highlighting three central and original contributions. First, it reevaluates the philosophical relationship between Husserl and Stein, emphasizing Stein's commitment to Husserl's transcendental turn, contrary to interpretations that portray her as a realist phenomenologist. Second, it outlines a shared perspective of "transcendental realism," where the world's meaning is constituted in relation to the subject without falling into subjectivist idealism. Lastly, the paper underscores Stein's original contributions, particularly her dual anthropology, her phenomenology of the person and sociality, and her integration of phenomenology with Christian metaphysics. Ales Bello's work emerges as a milestone in Husserl and Stein scholarship.
