The breadth of shared intellectual debts and interests in the work of Edith Stein and Max Scheler demand that they be placed in conversation. This volume brings together philosophers and theologians to explore the convergences and divergences in Stein and Scheler’s respective work. Both thinkers were early practitioners of the phenomenological method, drew from and reflected on theological resources in their philosophical explorations, and maintained a lifelong interest in the human person. It examines key themes such as the human person, spirit (Geist), education (Bildung), and social ontology, demonstrating their historical importance and contemporary relevance. The authors argue that reading these philosophers together is essential for understanding their historical significance and for illuminating contemporary concerns both within and beyond academia. The volume also features the first English translation of Edith Stein’s seminal essay, “The Meaning of Phenomenology as Worldview.”
