Abstract
The reflections developed by Edith Stein and Gerda Walter around the religious experience, and more precisely the mystical experience, reveal their roots in a precise anthropological conception of a relational nature. In fact, the two philosophers present the idea of ”‹”‹a human being characterized by a depth (soul or self) whose deepest point corresponds to the place of presence of a fundamental alterity. The analysis of the conditions of the mystical experience, in these two authors, will be able to show how this same presence manifests itself in the form of the relationship.
