Community as core concept in political and educational theory according to Edith Stein
Abstrak
The rich educational vision Edith Stein developed in the light of the Christian faith must be understood in the light of her early political awareness and of the political thought she sketched out at the end of the tenties, in her strictly phenomenological period. Central to this is her analysis of the concept of community, which led her to criticise the theories of the social contract. This article shows the continuity between the political vision proposed by the young Edith Stein in her phenomenological period, and her vision of education, developed after her baptism and her immersion in the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas. After outlining the determining role of the concept of community in her political thought, we show how this concept is also essential for understanding her educational vision. The educational mysticism that she developed in the 1930s thus appears to be what might be called a mysticism of community.
