Abstract

Edith Stein, who is a human knowledge researcher and its formation, broadens her approaches and concepts in analysis and discussion with other theoreticians. Among those, she is compared to Hedwig Conrad-Martius, a very prominent biologist, whose investigation and publications aim to match the scientific research to philosophical survey and publications, by intending to watch the global reality of the nature in order to describe its origins, structures and vital process. In her text, Power and Act, Stein is compared to Conrad-Martius, from her work Metaphysical Dialogues and, through her interpretation and critical analysis, she goes ahead in the comprehension of the dimension that constitute the structure of the human being when it is compared to the other beings in nature. In this course, she faces the theory of evolutionism and in consonance with Conrad-Martius, she declares that it should be treated only as an interpretative theory, not as truth, because many of her statements cannot be proved.
