description

To describe important spiritual and philosophical issues Edith Stein used a symbol. The reason was her aesthetical sensitivity, but also, to some extent, her method of the phenomenological view. The definitions of the symbol used by the philosopher in the writings were introduced in the beginning. However, the main purpose of this article is the analysis of the symbolic stone. Recalling the context in the writings of Edith Stein and other texts that influenced her, one can find out that through these images she gets to the essence of all important aspects of the human being. Analyzing the symbol was tire attempt to show the extended reflection over the self-value of the woman, and then of a human being. The characterized value is the foundation to discover the personal calling to accomplish the human beauty in an individual, relationship and community aspect, which is best expressed in an image of a stone in the mosaic.
