Status naturae purae. Edith Stein’s reflections on Thomas Aquinas’ De veritate in the context of anthropological-theological questions

Abstract:

The objective of this article is to show the influence of Thomas Aquinas’ De veritate on the reflections of E. Stein on theological anthropology, developed especially in the lessons she prepared on this subject between February and May 1933. Although the use of De veritate is observed to explain the philosophical basis of the statements of the Magisterium of the Church, its influence is also shown in the personal reflection of E. Stein on the theological-dogmatic problem of the status naturae purae.

Key words:

Status naturae purae; Theological Anthropology; Edith Stein; Thomas Aquinas.
