She worked within a distinguished circle which included Edmund Husserl, Adolph Reinach, Max Scheler and Martin Heidegger. In 1922 she startled her friends and associates by becoming a roman catholic and, shortly thereafter, entering the carmelite order to live in a cloister as a professed sister. In 1942 she was taken from her convent by the Nazis and was murdered at Auschwitz. The selections span a period of nearly 25 years in her life : the youthful atheist thinks about her life and the alarming events of her time ; the mature, professionally active woman struggles with themes of self-discovery and the spiritual shaping of the human being ; the christian philosopher struggles with the meaning of existence ; finally, the great contemplative gives advice for introspection and serenity.
