GONZALEZ SUAREZ, Lucero. The presence of God in the interior castle. On the complementarity of mystic anthropology of Santa Teresa de Jesus and Edith Stein's phenomenological anthropology. Valenciana [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.21, pp.127-151. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i21.347.

The aim of this article is showing the most important coincidences between Santa Teresa de Jesus’s mystic anthropology and Edith Stein’s phenomenological anthropology, about soul’s comprehension, in order to exhibit their agreement. This meditation is philosophical anthropology by its object; phenomenology, by its method, and hermeneutics, because the analysis is directed to threetextual constructions: The interior castle (written by Santa Teresa de Jesús), Finite and eternal Being and Soul’s Castle (written by E. Stein). The thesis I´ll try to prove is:if the human essence is defined by the opening to the mystery of God, the integral comprehension of human being should consider the mystical testimonies.

Keywords : Santa Teresa de Jesús; Edith Stein; Phenomenological anthropology; Mysticism; God.
