»The Presence of Duns Scotus in the Thought of Edith Stein. The Question of Individuality« In
this volume the author analyses the works of the phenomenologist Edith Stein in order to
detect which Scotist sources she used in particular in reference to a crucial anthropological
question: the 'principium individuationis'. The use of Scotist sources is a very common element
among Husserl's disciples. Through extensive research in the Archives and by analysing the
works of the members of the Phenomenological Circle of Göttingen Freiburg and Munich the
author was able to reconstruct the Scotist and pseudoscotist sources. A decisive element
emerges from this reconstruction: Stein's contact with Scotist sources precedes her
contribution to the 'Phänomenologie und die Philosophie des Hl. Thomas von Aquino' (Husserl's
'Jahrbuch' of 1929). The analysis of the structure of the human person is carried out by the
author taking into consideration how Stein's approach accomplished an expansion of the
Husserlian phenomenology with medieval philosophy.
