Saint Edith Stein: philosopher, Christian feminist, Auschwitz victim

The problem with empathy is how to explain our knowledge of another person's feelings and viewpoints.

Robert Anning Bell - His Life and His Works

Online sources are initially a bit challenging in their family-history, genealogical information.

For example, Geni did not list Frank and Mary Charlotte Knight's parents even as they furnished only Frank's birth-date, not his birth-place or death-date or death-place.

Perhaps the two siblings and their parents qualified for middle-class status.

Might their respective nephew and son, Robert Anning Bell, have maintained middle-class status even with artistic successes?

10 Symbols in The Frog King

The first paragraph to the second subheading, Fountain/Well, advises us that "water represents calmness, peace, but due to its fluidity and ability to change, also suggests a change. Fountains and wells are also closely associated with affluence. Only nobility had fountains on their property and everybody who has a well owns a source of water as a necessary condition for life."

Does water have the same symbolism regardless of its configuration?

For example, Arabian nights and Bluebeard perhaps have sea-water symbolism. Might non-fountainable/fountained, wellable/welled water suggest change if not calmness and peace?

The Berwyns: a lonely, but beautiful range

Thank you!

Rockpooling is an activity known to me and may be considered as an excellent preparation for my life as a water quality monitor of freshwater-stream invertebrates.

But playing rolly poley down Prestatyn dunes somewhat puzzles me.

What would rolly poley be and what would Prestatyn dunes in particular have that works so well with such an activity?

The Appeal of Ruins

Thank you!

Hell is ruled by Satan. It is not a place where a human is happy, correct?

But what is the thought about Satan? Is he not happy there either?

Robert Anning Bell - His Life and His Works

I dodn't dig so deep, sorry. I believe this is the same guy, yes. In the 19th century people were nost so specialized like today and education was taken more losely. Many artists were self-taught and still succeeded.

10 Symbols in The Frog King

Frog King is not a typical example. We can still find a few somehow similar titles: Cinderella is known as Little Glass Slipper, Thumbling is known as Seven-mile Boots. Right now, I don't remember a title with so unimportant side character like at the Frog King.

Robert Anning Bell - His Life and His Works

Artists come from all kinds of places. If there is any money in the family it can help with education but an established family business can set limitations as well.

Moorland Fires

Thank you!

English Wikipedia associates fire-exploding trees with aspen and eucalyptus species. It attributes eucalyptus explosions to what you aver below.

That article does not explain why aspen trees explode.

What might you hypothesize?

Taking Stock: Pope Francis at 80

Thank you!

Your wizzley causes me to consider papal celebrations of their birthdays.

Do they experience official celebrations and, with family and friends, personal celebrations?

The Crossover: a review

Two of the three book images at text end allude to a quiz nite.

One image associates quiz nite with Christmas celebrations even as the other image avers Nixie-free ambiances.

What is the significance of quiz nite?

Saint Edith Stein: philosopher, Christian feminist, Auschwitz victim

The second paragraph to the first subheading, Edith's early life, advises us that "After the war she returned to academia, where she was a student of the Phenomenologist Husserl, where she wrote her first work, On the Problem of Empathy."

How did she perceive empathy as problematic?
