What is a person? From Antiquity to Modern Ages, philosophers have built such complex notion around concepts like those of substance, individual and rational being. In this course the same question will be studied in the answer provided by the phenomenologist Edith Stein (1891-1942), with a particular attention to the way she combines Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus with the ontological and phenomenological resources developed by Husserl and by the early phenomenological tradition.


AIM OF THE COURSE

The course has a double aim. On the one hand, it wants to regard the philosophical work of Edith Stein as the point of intersection of two seemingly different traditions: the Medieval one and the early phenomenology. On the other hand, it will also show that Stein reconnects to certain Medieval motifs precisely in order to take distance from Husserl’s idealism.
