Abstract

The article discusses Edith Stein's philosophical theory in relation to consciousness, the soul, and the human body. Stein defines the "pure self" as the subject of experience that is devoid of qualities and indescribable in any other way, existing not as an individual but in contrast to the other. The author argues that the soul is a substantial unity formed from categorical elements and is dependent on the currents of consciousness and the experiences one undergoes. The article also highlights Stein's concerns regarding death, differing from Heidegger's theory, as she seeks to propose an interpretation that does not close the door to the eternal.
