Edyta Stein i Roman Ingarden -koncepcje człowieka
January 28, 2016 Władysław Stróżewski
The author reconstructs and compares two concepts of the human person in the philosophies of Edith Stein and Roman Ingarden, two phenomenologists connected by friendship and intellectual ties. The paper first presents each thinker's account of the subject, soul, spirit, body, experience, self-experience, and will. Stein's later work moves from phenomenology into mysticism, drawing on Saint John of the Cross and Saint Theresa of Avila. Ingarden, while less engaged with mysticism, opens toward transcendence through the concept of metaphysical qualities. The analysis shows how both philosophers depict the psychophysical constitution of the human being from their respective perspectives.
