La cuestión de la especificidad de la mujer en Edith Stein (1891-1942)

Abstract

This research deals with the question by the specificity of women in the work of Edith Stein. The answer is focused on three important significant cores, i.e. the question by the principle of the specificity of women, the appropriate method to address this specificity with a rationality which is genuinely theological, and the Gemüt in the central constituent part of such specificity. Indeed, the specificity of women finds its ultimate principle in the Triune and One and Only God, such interrelated, as analogical way, with the Holy Spirit-Love. This interrelation does not exclude the specificity of the male, since it is found, similarly, prefigured in the Son - but both specificities are included in its opposite relations. This means that the specificity of women does not destroy that of the male, but highlights, analogically to the Son and the Spirit, with the Father, as fontal source, a beginning without beginning, which we are similar to by means of our common feeling.
