      abstract = {This book explores Edith Stein's phenomenology of the  state. It features chapters on the application of Steins  political philosophy to real issues and questions affecting  nations today. The contributors also situate Steins  political theory within her larger philosophical corpus.  The collection examines An Investigation Concerning the  State from various angles. Scholars first consider some of  the direct claims Stein makes about social and political  ontology. They mine her work for its implications for and  applications to contemporary debates. Then, the  contributors position her work in relation to other figures  in phenomenology, including Edmund Husserl and Max Scheler.  Finally, Steins views are brought to bear on other  disciplines, including feminism, theology, and literature.  The contributors also use her theory of the state to  address various contemporary issues, including bioethics  and rights, globalization, as well as social and political  inequality. The view of the state that emerges has  implications for how we do politics and make ethical  decisions. Moreover, Stein's work has an impact on our  views of sociality (as opposed to the sociality of  contractarian views of the state), pedagogy, women,  theories of justice and law, as well as social psychology  and religion. This volume helps readers better understand  this vital voice in political philosophy and appeals to  students, professors, and researchers working in the  field.},
