Kobieta w myśli Edyty Stein

Abstract

The modern analysis of womanhood should cover a wide research spectrum of various scientific disciplines. Such was the case of Edyta Stein, who based her perception of a woman, her vocation and destiny on serious, detailed and verified reflections. Why do the modern philosophical thought, philosophical anthropology and theology refer to Edyta Stein? She was a woman who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, when the ideas of emancipation and equal rights for women were only just crystallizing. What can she possibly say to the women of the 21st century? But it seems that in Edyta Stein one meets a full and spiritual person, a person whose soul has undergone an ultimate formation and reached the height of its existence.
