Person and dignity in Edith Stein's writings : investigated in comparison to the writings of the Doctors of the Church and the magisterial documents of the Catholic Church / Jadwiga Guerrero van der Meijden.

• Methodology -- An outline of anthropological themes in Edith Stein's writings -- The network of anthropological concepts in Edith Stein's philosophy -- The human person in Edith Stein's philosophy -- Human dignity and value in Edith Stein's writings -- Human dignity in the writings of the Church fathers [and] the Doctors of the Church -- Human dignity in contemporary magisterial documents and the functionality of the Steinian model of dignity.

• Edith Stein is widely known as a historical figure, a victim of the Holocaust and a saint, but still unrecognised as a philosopher. It was philosophy, however, that constituted the core of her life. Today her complete writings are available to scholars and therefore her thinking can be properly investigated and evaluated. In the final parts of the book, the author shows how Stein's ideas are relevant today, in particular to the ongoing doctrinal and legal debates over the concept of human dignity. -- 
• "Who is a human person? And what is his or her dignity according to Edith Stein? Those are the two leading questions investigated in this volume. The answer is presented based on the complete writings of the 20th-c. phenomenologist and compared to the traditional Christian understanding of human dignity present in the writings of the Church Fathers and the Doctors of the Church as well as Magisterial Documents of the Catholic Church." --
