Edith Stein's Philosophy of Psychology and the Humanities, Gebunden

Klappentext

Edith Stein's Philosophy of Psychology and the Humanities is a pioneering exploration of the intersection between psychology, philosophy, and human sciences. Written in the aftermath of World War I, the book delves into the interplay between individual and collective experience, examining how empathy, motivation, and causality shape our understanding of human behaviour. Through a meticulous phenomenological approach, Stein analyses prevailing psychological theories and highlights the necessity of integrating the spiritual and material dimensions of human existence. She offers a unique framework for understanding the human person not only as an individual but also as a participant in communal and societal structures. This work challenges disciplinary boundaries and anticipates debates on interdisciplinary research, making it a timeless contribution to philosophy, psychology, and social thought. Stein's analysis resonates today as a call for a holistic approach to the complexities of human experience.
