This volume brings together revised versions of papers presented at the inaugural conference of the International Association for the Study of the Philosophy of Edith Stein (IASPES). The conference papers are supplemented by a number of specially commissioned essays in order to provide a representative sample of the best research currently being carried out on Stein's philosophy in the English speaking world. The first part of the volume centres on Stein's phenomenology; the second part looks at her Christian philosophy; and the third part explores the contexts of her philosophical work.
