The Charioteer

"The charioteer of the human soul drives a pair of steeds, and one of the horses is beautiful, good, and formed of such elements, whereas the makeup of the other one is quite the opposite." -Phaedrus

Alasdair McIntyre's Books on Edith Stein



















The renowned contemporary ethicist, most known for his work in communitarian virtue ethics, has supposedly devoted the remainder of his career to the lesser known student of Husserl and Catholic phenomenologist, Edith Stein (aka, Sister Benedicta Croce). Even the titles of his first two books, Edith Stein: A Philosophical Prologue (Dec. 2005), and Edith Stein: The Philosophical Background (Aug. 2006), indicate an anticipated lengthy project, for they more resemble chapter titles than those of entire book-length studies. Might an awakening of Stein be in the "works"? If it will ever happen, most assuredly, it will happen under the auspices of a name like MacIntyre's.

I believe these may be the same book, one a UK edition and the other published in the US.

By the way, the book does a nice job bridging the Continental and Analytical traditions. My background is strongly the latter, so it provided a nice overview of the Continental side for those, like myself, not all that familiar with it.

Thank you, I was not aware they were the same. I have not yet read the the book, but I hope to pick it up possibly this summer.

So are they different editions of the same text? Philosophical Background is cited as having dozens more pages than Prologue -- perhaps Prologue is Background minus notes and scholarly apparatus, a "popular" edition?
