Edith Stein's Finite and Eternal Being
2023There are few topics more central to philosophical discussions than the meaning of being, and few thinkers offer a more compelling and original vision of that meaning than Edith Stein (1891–1942). Stein’s magnum opus, drawing from her decades working with the early phenomenologists and intense years as a student and translator of medieval texts, lays ...

1997
In previous chapters, Edith Stein has been seen as a philosopher of consciousness, reflecting on and analyzing the inner world as well as the outer world of human beings.

Aquinas and Augustine on Creation and God as “Eternal Being”
New Blackfriars, 2014AbstractThis paper considers the centrality of the doctrine of creation ex nihilo to both Augustine and Aquinas, especially as these pertain to knowing and naming God. It argues that too much has been ceded to Augustine's purported debt to neo-Platonism, and too little to the doctrine of creation as found in the Christian (and Jewish) middle-Platonists.

Is Edith Stein’s Finite and Eternal Being a Kind of “Phenomenological Metaphysics”?

This could be explained in several ways, some

God Is Not Eternal, Nor Are We: On the Blessedness of Being in Time
Process Studies, 2018Abstract The association of God with eternity, and eternity with timelessness, harms Christian spiritual life. If eternity is superior to time, then God’s placement of human beings within time is ungenerous. Fortunately, the Christian concept of God as triune commends divine becoming through time.

Turkey and the Eternal Question of Being, or Becoming, European
2005A transformation is taking place in much of today’s Europe through a process that may be described as ‘complex socialization’. This process, which arguably began in the western half of Europe soon after 1945 and which, with the demise of the continent’s Cold War divisions, is now percolating into its former Communist eastern half, is associated with ...
