Essays on Woman
Reading Group
October 30, November 6, 13, 20
A four-week reading group through Essays on Woman by Edith Stein with Dr. William Tullius.
The group will meet over Zoom on Wednesdays (October 30, November 6, 13, 20) at 7:00 – 8:00 PM ET.
About the Text
Edith Stein’s writings on woman are the fruit of both reflection and debate with other leaders of the Catholic feminist movement in German-speaking countries between the World Wars. This second revised edition of Essays on Woman includes textual corrections, important new supplementary data, and previously unavailable material on the spirituality of the lay and religious woman. These essays crystalize long hours of experience teaching in the classroom and on the speaker’s platform in the pursuit of fulfilling roles for women in all walks of life.
Format
The meeting will be conducted live in Zoom. Links for the session will be sent out ahead of time.
To allow for rich discussion, the group is limited in size to a maximum of 20 participants. Once the group is full, additional registrations will be placed on a waitlist.
All participants are expected to have a copy of the text and to come prepared to each session having done the weekly reading (15-45+ pages per week). The weekly reading schedule will be e-mailed to you.
Moderator
William Tullius holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the New School for Social Research and is currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at American Public University System. His main areas of research revolve around the development of a phenomenological ethical theory through the study of such phenomenological thinkers as Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler, and Edith Stein. He recently published a book on Edith Stein’s moral philosophy titled Outlines of Morality: On the Ethical Philosophy of Edith Stein, available now from by Lexington Books as part of the Edith Stein Studies series.
