A STUDY LIKE NO OTHER
“When the intellectual history of
the Catholic Church in the twentieth century is written,” said Pope Benedict
XVI, “the name of Dietrich von Hildebrand will be most prominent among the
figures of our time.”
Edith Stein was, said Time magazine, “One of the most
remarkable women of her time.”
Born two years apart, both were
converts to Catholicism and students of Edmund Husserl, the noted 20th century
philosopher. Although they met during
their lives, they only knew each other casually. Yet there were major similarities in their
lives.
Noted Catholic author, lecturer and
philosopher Alice von Hildebrand has taken on the task of briefly profiling
these two great 20th century Catholics, using as her point of
reference the memoirs of each. In the
case of her late husband Dietrich von Hildebrand, she is the only person who
has read his memoirs in their entirety.
This, and her life as his wife, make Dietrich
von Hildebrand and Edith Stein: Husserl’s Students a study like no other.
