Having discussed Edith Stein's interpretive practices in the preceding chapter, we come now to a consideration of how she herself has undergone interpretation. It was suggested above that Stein's writing put into practice her distinctive theory of empathy. The authoring i, laying out a path of thinking, offers itself as the guide for readers to follow--even the vehicle for readers to ride--along that path. We saw that authoring subjectivity stands forth in Stein's works in three contrasting modes, which were designated the anonymous, the autographic, and the autobiographic strategies of writing.
