 Stein appropriated the notion of “life” (Leben) from Husserl, Scheler, Dilthey, and Bergson. Development of the person continues through life but the person does not cease after death (1931: 140[202]). The person enters eternity “as what s/he has become” (was sie geworden ist; 1931: 135[195]). In our innermost feeling of being alive we remain the same—from child to adult to old age (1931: 2[21]).
