Abstract
INFANTE DEL ROSAL, FERNANDO. Fiction in Edith Stein's Idea of Empathy. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.153, pp.137-155. ISSN 0120-0062.
ABSTRACT In her first research project, Edith Stein set out to define the essence of Einfühlung (empathy) as an experience of another's consciousness. Her objective was to justify the fact that such an act opened up the possibility of a transcendental subjectivity as a solution to the solipsism of consciousness, as Husserl had indicated. Stein found the key to that essence in the idea of originariety, but she tried to avoid the problem of aesthetic empathy by resorting to Scheler's Idols of Self-Knowledge.
