Die Präsenz des Duns Scotus im Denken Edith Steins.

'The Presence of Duns Scotus in the Thought of Edith Stein. The Question of Individuality' In this volume the author analyses the works of the phenomenologist Edith Stein, in order to detect which Scotist sources she used in particular in reference to a crucial anthropological question: the principium individuationis. The use of Scotist sources is a very common element among Husserls disciples. Through extensive research in the Archives and by analysing the works of the members of the Phenomenological Circle of Göttingen, Freiburg and Munich, the author was able to reconstruct the Scotist and pseudoscotist sources. A decisive element emerges from this reconstruction: Stein's contact with Scotist sources precedes her contribution to the Phänomenologie und die Philosophie des Hl. Thomas von Aquino (Husserl's Jahrbuch of 1929). The analysis of the structure of the human person is carried out by the author taking into consideration how Steins approach accomplished an expansion of the Husserlian phenomenology with medieval philosophy.
