Paperback. En la lista de los mejores 50 libros del 2025 de BabeliaVida, obra (y muerte) de una mujer extraordinaria. Un retrato del siglo XX que interpela los debates sobre identidad del XXI.Edith Stein recorrio un sinuoso camino de busqueda que la llevo del judaismo al agnosticismo, a la filosofia, al catolicismo y que concluyo en el infierno de los campos de concentracion nazis.Nacida en Polonia en 1891, fue la primera mujer en doctorarse en Filosofia en Alemania y pertenecio al circulo intimo de Edmund Husserl, padre de la Fenomenologia. Temprana feminista, en 1921 su vida dio un vuelco mistico y se convirtio al catolicismo para ingresar en la orden carmelita como Teresa Benedicta de la Cruz. Canceladas sus expectativas de emigracion, fue detenida por la Gestapo en 1942 y deportada a Auschwitz, donde fue asesinada. En 1998 el papa Juan Pablo II la canoniza. La ambiciosa investigacion de Irene Chikiar Bauer propone, bajo una luz inedita, un recorrido por los escritos autobiograficos de esta mujer personalisima, sus textos filosoficos y religiosos y su extensa correspondencia, y reconstruye tanto sus resbaladizos contextos de produccion como las preocupaciones vitales y existenciales de Stein. Como resultado, en este libro enlaza su vida y obra con los tiempos brumosos en los que vivio y con las causas que abrazo con fervor y conviccion. En ese gesto, traza lineas que necesariamente llegan al presente y aportan a la discusion contemporanea sobre lo identitario.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn the list of the best 50 books of 2025 by BabeliaThe life, work (and death) of an extraordinary woman. A portrait of the twentieth century that informs current debates about identity. Edith Steins complicated personal journey took her from Judaism to agnosticism, philosophy and Catholicism, and ended in a Nazi concentration camp.Born in Poland in 1891, Edith Stein was the first German woman to earn a doctorate in philosophy; a close confidante of Edmund Husserl, the father of Phenomenology; and an early feminist. In 1921, she became interested in mysticism and converted to Catholicism, joining the Carmelite Order as Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Unable to emigrate before the Second World War broke out, she was arrested by the Gestapo in 1942 and deported to Auschwitz, where she died in the gas chamber. In 1998, she was canonized by Pope John Paul II.In this carefully researched book, Irene Chikiar Bauer delves into Steins autobiographical writings, philosophical and religious texts, and extensive correspondence to shed light on her circumstances and the existential questions that consumed her. The result is a biography that connects Steins life and work with the tumultuous era in which she lived and the causes she embraced with fervor and conviction. The issues it examines resonate with the present and current debates about identity. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The life, work (and death) of an extraordinary woman. A portrait of the twentieth century that informs current debates about identity.
Edith Stein's complicated personal journey took her from Judaism to agnosticism, philosophy and Catholicism, and ended in a Nazi concentration camp.
Born in Poland in 1891, Edith Stein was the first German woman to earn a doctorate in philosophy; a close confidante of Edmund Husserl, the father of Phenomenology; and an early feminist. In 1921, she became interested in mysticism and converted to Catholicism, joining the Carmelite Order as Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Unable to emigrate before the Second World War broke out, she was arrested by the Gestapo in 1942 and deported to Auschwitz, where she died in the gas chamber. In 1998, she was canonized by Pope John Paul II.
In this carefully researched book, Irene Chikiar Bauer delves into Stein's autobiographical writings, philosophical and religious texts, and extensive correspondence to shed light on her circumstances and the existential questions that consumed her. The result is a biography that connects Stein's life and work with the tumultuous era in which she lived and the causes she embraced with fervor and conviction. The issues it examines resonate with the present and current debates about identity.
