Mi intervención intenta ser una reflexión sobre algunos temas abordados por el Dr. González Di Pierro en su texto titulado "Dos fenomenólogas piensan la república: María Zambrano y Edith Stein", y la formulación de algunas preguntas que, espero, puedan introducirnos a una discusión posterior. Más que remitirme a las coincidencias que hay entre una autora y otra, tal como lo hace Eduardo González al final de su sugerente trabajo, me gustaría considerar las posibles divergencias en torno a la naturaleza social del ser humano. Tal cuestión qeu está a la base del pensamiento político tanto de Stein como de Zambrano , puede analizarse a partir de las consideraciones que ambas autores realizan en torno a la naturaleza de la acción humana.

O artigo discute uma aproximação entre dois autores, Edith Stein da fenomenologia e Winnicott da psicanálise, para refletir a ética da clínica psicológica. Colocam-se em diálogo dois conceitos, o de “preocupação materna primária” de Winnicott e o de “empatia” na fenomenologia de Edith Stein. Nota-se que os conceitos discutidos se referem a algo que existe no ser humano que é anterior a percepção e a todos os processos cognitivos e cognoscitivos, algo que é da ordem do ontológico. Tal aproximação mostra que ambos os autores entendem que há um aspecto que é fundamentalmente humano na constituição do sujeito, e esse possibilita a intersubjetividade. Nas implicações para a clínica, acreditamos que o que é fundamentalmente humano possibilitando a intersubjetividade se funda no reconhecimento da alteridade e no cuidado ético do ser humano em relação ao outro.

Whereas much theology of religions regards ‘the other’ as a problem to be solved, this book begins with a Church called to witness to its faith in a multicultural world by practising a generous yet risky hospitality. A theology of dialogue takes its rise from the Christian experience of being-in-dialogue. Taking its rise from the biblical narrative of encounter, call, and response, such a theology cannot be fully understood without reference to the matrix of faith that Christians share in complex ways with the Jewish people. The contemporary experience of the Shoah, the dominating religious event of the twentieth century, has complexified that relationship and left an indelible mark on the religious sensibility of both Jews and Christians. Engaging with a range of thinkers, from Heschel, Levinas, and Edith Stein who were all deeply affected by the Shoah, to Metz, Panikkar, and Rowan Williams, who are always pressing the limits of what can and cannot be said with integrity about the self-revealing Word of God, this book shows how Judaism is a necessary, if not sufficient, source of Christian self-understanding. What is commended by this foundational engagement is a hope-filled ‘waiting on grace’ made possible by virtues of empathy and patience. A theology of dialogue focuses not on metaphysical abstractions but on biblical forms of thought about God’s presence to human beings which Christians share with Jews and, under the continuing guidance of the Spirit of Christ, learn to adapt to a whole range of contested cultural and political contexts.

Social Acts

AbstractThis paper discusses the thesis defended by Edith Stein that certain acts can be attributed to the State. According to Stein, the State is a social structure characterized by sovereignty. As such, it is responsible for the production, interpretation, and application of law. These tasks require the performance of acts, most of which are what Stein calls “social acts” like enactments and orders. For Stein, the acts in question are made by the organs of the State, but in the name of the State, and are thus attributed to the State via a relation of representation. In the first section, the paper presents Stein’s thesis that the sovereignty of the State entails a series of legal prerogatives, which in turn result in various social acts being ascribed to the State through its representatives. In the second section, the paper critically discusses Stein’s views, notably her theory of representation, and her account of the nature of the State, while emphasizing its most interesting aspects, namely, its fine-grained analyses of the various acts that are attributed to the State.

AbstractThe paper presents a semiotic interpretation of the phenomenological debate on the notion of person, focusing in particular on Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler, and Edith Stein. The semiotic interpretation lets us identify the categories that orient the debate: collective/individual and subject/object. As we will see, the phenomenological analysis of the relation between person and social units such as the community, the association, and the mass shows similarities to contemporary socio-semiotic models. The difference between community, association, and mass provides an explanation for the establishment of legal systems. The notion of person we inherit from phenomenology can also be useful in facing juridical problems raised by the use of non-human decision-makers such as machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence applications.

Cet article tente de montrer la parenté intellectuelle entre Edith Stein et Erich Przywara. Les deux montrent en effet que ni une philosophie de l’être ni une philosophie de la connaissance ne peuvent s’accomplir absolument. Si Przywara élabore une synthèse métaphysique complexe en se basant sur une analyse de l’histoire de la philosophie, Stein compte perfectionner la phénoménologie en lui montrant le chemin de l’être.

Aborda-se a relação entre educação e nutrição tematizando a unidade da pessoa, a educação como formação e esta como formação da pessoa. Com os conceitos de Edith Stein de “centro pessoal” e de “força vital”, examinam-se os pontos fundantes do interesse dos sujeitos humanos pela vida pessoal e pelo mundo circundante. Deles dependem tanto a unidade da pessoa - física, psicológica e espiritual -, sua relação não alienante com o contexto social, quanto a constituição de comunidade propriamente dita. Conclui-se que sem um caminho possível para formação da pessoa, para cada um se tornar mais si mesmo, não se estabelece processo de cuidado pessoal ou social.

Social And Environmental Reporting

Purpose Drawing on the phenomenological concepts of “empathy” and “communal emotions” developed by Edith Stein (1917, 1922), the purpose of this paper is to discuss the co-existence both of the legitimacy and accountability perspectives in voluntarily delivered social and environmental reporting (SER), based on different “levels of empathy” towards different stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts an interpretive research design, drawn from Stein’s concept of empathy by using a mixed-method approach. A manual content analysis was performed on 393 cooperative banks’ (CB) social and environmental reports from 2005 to 2013 in Italy, and 14 semi-structured interviews. Findings The results show that CBs voluntarily disclose information in different ways to different stakeholders. According to Stein, the phenomenological concept of empathy, and its understanding within institutions, allows us to interpret these multiple perspectives within a single social and environmental report. Therefore, when the process of acquiring knowledge in the CB–stakeholder relationship is complete and mentalised (level 3, re-enactive empathy), the SER holds high informative power, consistent with the accountability perspective; on the contrary, when this process is peripheral and perceptional (level 1, basic empathy), the SER tends to provide more self-assessment information, attempting to portray the bank in a positive light, which is consistent with the legitimacy perspective. Originality/value The concept of empathy introduced in this paper can assist in interpreting the interactions between an organisation and different stakeholders within the same social and environmental report. Moreover, the approach adopted in this paper considers different stakeholders simultaneously, thus responding to previous concerns regarding the lack of focus on multiple stakeholders.
