Interiorite de la personne et education chez edithstein
Eric Rus - Collection La nuit surveillée
Résumé
--
Edith Stein is well-known in France for her spiritual writings and, to a lesser degree, for her philosophic works. Yet her efforts in the realm of education deserve equal recognition. As philosopher and teacher, she endeavoured to explore in depth the act of teaching, investigating both its significance and the personal and community stakes involved. The importance of her reflection and practice resides essentially in her attempt to base her pedagogical skills on anthropology. For if the purpose of education is to form the person as a whole, it must entail a certain vision of the human. Edith Stein's work of anthropological clarification was the product of her heightened awareness of human dignity. It also informs us of the nature of education perceived as that of man in his entirety. Which is why this act of service to the person takes into account not only the mind and body, but goes so far as to examine the thirst for meaning inscribed in the soul of each individual. In other words, it is her concern for the inner being that characterises Edith Stein's anthropological vision, and explains her concept of education. Although this concept is entirely habited by her faith in Christ, Edith Stein does not adopt an ideological stance, for example, by considering that education is a Christian monopoly. Above all, she is a voice that speaks freely, with respect and conviction, of the enthralling discovery of the beauty and mystery of a person's inner being. It is from this vantage point, from the core, that she draws her conclusions with regard to education. At a time when the question of education crystallizes both so many fears and hopes, we have sought to share this living word. For all those who are driven by the same ideal, the shining furrow which Edith Stein ploughed throughout her life has produced for us today a harvest of testimony and encouragement. And, for everyone else, it remains a proposal which deserves to be heard, to the extent that it can but generate reflection in the world of education. Two substantial annexes complete this volume: - The first is devoted to Etty Hillesum ('Etty Hillesum pelerine du sens'). - The second annexe provides the first complete translation into French of a major text written by Edith Stein in 1936: 'Le château de l'âme'. Translation by Cécile Rastoin.
