Edith Steins' dissertation and inaugural publication, On the Problem of Empathy, introduced her distinctive perspective on empathy, embodiment, phenomenology, and intersubjectivity. Her deep immersion in phenomenology and her intimate knowledge of the psychology and sociology of her time pose challenges for contemporary readers to comprehend. This companion provides a guide to Steins' first philosophical masterpiece. The opening essays, including a contribution from Íngrid Vendrell Ferran, highlight the most influential factors on Steins' thought around 1917, the structure and methodology of her argument, the position of this work in her oeuvre, its historical significance, and its relevance for contemporary philosophical discussions. Timothy Burns then offers a comprehensive and detailed summary of each section of Empathy, elucidating the argument that runs throughout this classic of philosophical thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 370g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 236 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666937169\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timothy A.
