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 out a grand vision, bringing together phenomenological and Scholastic insights into an integrated whole. The sheer scope of Stein’s project in Finite and Eternal Being is daunting, and the text can be challenging to navigate. In this book, Sarah Borden Sharkey provides a guide to Stein’s great final philosophical work and intellectual vision. The opening essays give an overview of Stein’s method and argument and place Finite and Eternal Being both within its historical context and in relation to contemporary discussions. The author also provides clear, detailed summaries of each section of Stein’s opus, drawing from the latest scholarship on Stein’s manuscript. Edith Stein’s Finite and Eternal Being: A Companion offers a unique guide, opening up Stein’s grand cathedral-like vision of the meaning of being as the unfolding of meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: Contextual Essays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssay I: The Structure, Method, and Argumentation of Finite and Eternal Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssay II: Sources and Context for Finite and Eternal Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssay III: The Significance of Finite and Eternal Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart Two: Synopsis of Finite and Eternal Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Introduction: The Question of Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Act and Potency as Ways-of-Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Essential and Actual Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Essence – essentia, οὐσία – Substance, Form, and Matter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Be-ing as Such (Transcendentals)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: The Meaning of Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: The Image of the Trinity in Creation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: The Meaning and Foundation of Individual-Being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix I: Martin Heidegger’s Philosophy of Existence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix II: Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042005582167,"sku":"9781666909678","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/edith-steins-finite-and-eternal-being-a-companion-9781666909678","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
