Eternal life

a phenomenological exploration from the perspective of Edith Stein's description of person and community

Jennie D. Latta

pp. 65-72

Abstract

Edith Stein opens Finite and Eternal Being with the note that her work is prepared by a learner for fellow learners. In this spirit, I plan to provide some thoughts about eternal life, drawing primarily from Finite and Eternal Being but with references to On the Problem of Empathy and Philosophy of Psychology and the Humanities. I conclude that the spirit of one who has taken up him- or herself continues to carry the possibility of forming new relationships in a widening community.
