Abstract

The present article discusses the methodological assumptions for the study of the religious phenomenon according to the lines drawn in the various works of Angela Ales Bello, Italian philosopher, interpreter of the thinking of Edmund Husserl and Edith Stein in his various works. The task of this research is to understand how phenomenological philosophy can contribute to rethinking the internal structures of the sacred and to specify the role of the Phenomenology of Religion in the deepening of the Religious experience. Ales Bello, following the steps of Husserlian and Steinian phenomenology, proposes, as an initial point for the study of religions, an anthropological analysis. The indications derived from the phenomenological method of Husserl and Edith Stein prove to be useful tools for entering into the intricacies of the sacro-religious dimensions and for understanding the profound meaning of religious and mystical experience. The content of the article reveals the meeting of Angela Ales Bello with the phenomenology of Husserl and Edith Stein, her “enchantment” for the human search for truth and for her philosophies strictly intertwined with life.
