A Change in the Doctrine of Time and Being according to Edith Stein:: Reflections about Martin Heidegger’s Existential Philosophy

Resumen

The paper analyses the short writing titled Martin Heidegger's Existential Philosophy from Edith Stein. She knows at that time (1935) only the four published texts by Heidegger and has, therefore, a different picture of the author as in present days. Stein argues that what Heidegger calls Being is restricted to the human being. Infinite Being or God is not part of his thought, because his approach aims rather to a human understanding of being than to eternal fullness. For her part, Edith Stein thinks that philosophy has to show the eternal foundation of finite being.
