This book was released on 2019-01-26 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of "Ethics" is considered by many to be at its most complicated at present. But as renowned astrologer Brad Kronen points out in his latest book "The Ethics of Auschwitz: Oskar Groening & Edith Stein," contemporary society need only look to the not so distant past of the Second World War to see just how far the Western World has come in establishing new societal standards of human civility.Kronen looks at the very different lives of two people who both have gained global notoriety as of late for their time spent at the largest of the Nazi death centers during the war, the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. One who arrived there as a Nazi prison guard named Oskar Groening and the other who arrived at the concentration camp as a prisoner named Edith Stein. Groening eventually left Auschwitz and would draw the attention of the international press when at the age of 93 in 2015 he was put on trial for his time spent there in military service. Edith Stein never left Auschwitz due to being murdered in the death camp's gas chambers immediately upon arriving there. Edith Stein was born a Jew who had converted to Christianity and became a cloistered Carmelite Catholic nun. She gained international notoriety not only for being a philosopher with a Ph.D but Stein's life was celebrated by Catholics around the world when in 1998 the nun who perished in Auschwitz was canonized a Catholic saint named Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. In this fascinating and uniquely provocative book, Brad Kronen supports his belief that only by remembering the horrors from a not so civil time in the not so distant past can the modern world ensure itself a more civil, ethical, and globally humanist future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To help celebrate the fourth centenary of the birth of St. John of the Cross in 1542, Edith Stein received the task of preparing a study of his writings. She uses her skill as a philosopher to enter into an illuminating reflection on the difference between the two symbols of cross and night. Pointing out how entering the night is synonymous with carrying the cross, she provides a condensed presentation of John's thought on the active and passive nights, as discussed in The Ascent of Mount Carmel and The Dark Night. All of this leads Edith to speak of the glory of resurrection that the soul shares, through a unitive contemplation described chiefly in The Living Flame of Love. In the summer of 1942, the Nazis without warrant took Edith away. The nuns found the manuscript of this profound study lying open in her room. Because of the Nazis' merciless persecution of Jews in Germany, Edith Stein traveled discreetly across the border into Holland to find safe harbor in the Carmel of Echt. But the Nazi invasion of Holland in 1940 again put Edith in danger. The cross weighed down heavily as those of Jewish birth were harassed. Sr. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross's superiors then assigned her a task they thought would take her mind off the threatening situation. The fourth centenary of the birth, of St. John of the Cross (1542) was approaching, and Edith could surely contribute a valuable study for the celebration. It is no surprise that in view of her circumstances she discovered in the subject of the cross a central viewpoint for her study. A subject like this enabled her to grasp John's unity of being as expressed in his life and works. Using her training in phenomenology, she helps the reader apprehend the difference in the symbolic character of cross and night and why the night-symbol prevails in John. She clarifies that detachment is designated by him as a night through which the soul must pass to reach union with God and points out how entering the night is equivalent to carrying the cross. Finally, in a fascinating way Edith speaks of how the heart or fountainhead of personal life, an inmost region, is present in both God and the soul and that in the spiritual marriage this inmost region is surrendered by each to the other. She observes that in the soul seized by God in contemplation all that is mortal is consumed in the fire of eternal love. The spirit as spirit is destined for immortal being, to move through fire along a path from the cross of Christ to the glory of his resurrection. Book includes two photos and fully linked index.
Download or read book Conversion of Edith Stein written by Florent Gaboriau and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Two thousand years of Jewish-Christian dialogue have seen great acrimony and worse, but rapprochement and more are possible. The German Jewish philosopher Edith Stein (1891-1942) journeyed all the way from Jerusalem to Rome, eventually becoming a Carmelite nun. Conversion didn't protect her from the Holocaust, however, and she died in the gas chamber at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1987 and canonized her as St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross in 1998. Gaboriau explains her conversion in terms of her status as a Jew, a woman, and a philosopher and also as an ongoing process that culminated in martyrdom as a Jew, though for the sake of Christian principles. Between the chapters of Gaboriau's argument appear excerpts from Stein's writings that often exceed Gaboriau's in interest, and the pope's homily on the occasion of Stein's canonization concludes this dense little book"--Amazon.com.
