The fundamental program of Stein’s philosophy after his conversion was the relationship between modern philosophy and scholasticism. This article deals with new metaphysical and epistemological aspects of Stein’s work that reflect the encounter between both philosophical currents, starting from her reading of Thomas Aquinas’ De veritate, which have not yet been treated in the Edith Stein Forschung. Thus, from the metaphysical point of view, the question of the relationship between unity and multiplicity and the problem of the conditions of possibility of organic development are identified. And from the epistemological point of view, the following relevant aspects are raised: the starting point of philosophizing; the principles of knowledge; the extent to which habit influences knowledge; the question of whether angelic knowledge can serve to clarify human knowledge; the relationship between mathesis universalis and divine knowledge; the relationship between abstraction and intuition; and the critique of the Heideggerian interpretation of the concept of truth in the philosophical tradition.
Objetivo del siguiente artículo es mostrar el alcance del fenómeno de la expresión en la obra de Edith Stein para resolver los problemas epistemológico, político y fenomenológico vinculados al hecho religioso. Para ello, tras una revisión y clasificación de la bibliografía secundaria acerca de la reflexión sobre lo que hemos denominado “accesos a Dios en la filosofía de Stein” (relaciones entre razón y fe, filosofía de la religión o fenomenología de la vivencia religiosa, teología y estudios transversales) se presenta detalladamente el fenómeno de la expresión en el pensamiento de la autora y se constata su lugar en ese ámbito de investigaciones y su potencialidad para ofrecer respuesta a los tres problemas planteados al inicio del artículo.
