Edith Stein, Education, Ethics, Race, RacismResumen
Edith Stein published An Investigation Concerning the State in 1925, the same in in which Hitler’s Mein Kampf first appeared. Stein’s analysis of political theory there demonstrates her awareness of what she would later describe to Pope Pius XI as a growing ‘idolization of race’ that was beginning to infect German culture. Her analysis of ethnic community in that work very obviously represents an effort to combat the intellectual bases for any form of racism in political and cultural life in her contemporary Germany. Over time, Stein’s demonstrated commitment to ethnic and racial diversity in society develops into a general theological and metaphysical vision of diversity as being integral for human development, i.e., for the unfolding of
universal humanity across time. In tandem with this further development, Stein’s approach to undermining the spiritual bases for racism in society shifts from discussion in light of politics to discussion in light of pedagogy, indicating the important role that education is to play in fulfilling the goal of human development. This paper seeks to bring Stein’s philosophy of race and her philosophy of education into focus in order to understand how each works together with the other in Stein’s response to racial prejudice.
