The Empathy Thesis in Edith Stein, an Orientation around the Concept of Person
Abstract
The premise of this article is that the concept of empathy has implications deeper than epistemological. It remarks the importance of considering the other as a person rather than a mere psychophysical subject. Which implies –in virtue that Stein is an advocate of phenomenology– the possibility of studying the structure of the person and also the co-responsibility of the interactions between these in the frame of intersubjectivity: as well as the possibility of the knowledge of the person itself, through the knowledge of the other, implies an ethical orientation that has as framework the being with and for others. On one side, philosophy pretends to reveal the way in which is possible to access this phenomenon in someone else’s experience through empathy, on the other side Stein outlines the concept of person and emphasizes the relevance of the cultivation of the entity for its full development. And so, by the end it is possible to see a kind of reciprocal link between both concepts, which allows us to bring the theme of empathy from horizons of the formation of the person with view of an ethic that makes possible to achieve a coexistence that takes into consideration the other.
