Abstract

Philosophy of Psychology and the Humanities (1922) is a text written by Edith Stein that presents a fruitful conceptual diversity to approach the topic of education. In this text, Stein explores the possibility of addressing various issues related to the development of the psychophysical and spiritual faculties of each human being, as well as the consideration of some inherent difficulties in this process. In the aforementioned text, the presentation of diverse examples of the human vital condition and its possibilities is highly illustrative. Causality and Motivation are the central concepts that allow us to approach the subject of education from a phenomenological perspective.
