Sumario: This study aims at elucidating the meaning of Edith Stein’s notion of “certainty of being”. As an original phenomenon, the latter has always been critically approached by both Philosophy and Theology. Nonetheless, Stein provides a philosophically rigorous understanding of what “certainty of being” means, in which the mystery of the finite spirit –always exposed to not-being for its lack of shelter– is seized by the infinite Spirit. Although related to both human reason and feelings, the “certainty of being” transcends them, for it implies something new beyond clear and distinct ideas, and mere emotions.
