Summary/Abstract: In Edith Stein’s works one can find reflections of some of Saint Teresa of Àvila’s ideas. Similarity of their characters can be one clue to explain it, but what’s more important – it is their Carmelite spirituality what makes this resemblance. Close parallel between them both can be seen in matters like concept of true, of wisdom, and the issues of woman. Beside historical distance and all biographical differences, Edith Stein and Saint Teresa of Àvila join into Carmelite tradition through spiritual experience, understanding and expression.
