Abstract In the following contribution I would like to present Edith Stein´s Philosophical Anthropology in somewhat more detail. I am going to pursue the issue of being human in Stein, to address fundamental issues and key concepts of her oeuvre, to refer to other approaches, to point out to Stein´s innovative contribution to Philosophical Anthropology under the horizon of phenomenology and classical metaphysics. As a preliminary remark, I would first like to outline a few lines of Stein’s biography. It is of course also possible to skip the first chapter and go straight to the philosophical considerations.
Keywords: Edith Stein, Philosophical Anthropology, phenomenology, metaphysics, man as a bodily being
