EDITH STEIN: Contemplative Scholar

Fitzgerald, Constance, OCD. St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Edith Stein, was a scholar and contemplative. The life of Edith Stein opens a window for us into this unusual marriage of disciplines. This presentation gives us a look through that window, not just for academic or historical purposes, but to discover whether it is a truth that contemplation and scholarship together can uniquely illicit and so to evaluate the importance of contemplative scholars to human thought and development.
