JOST, Maria Clara. Edith Stein's Contributions for comprehension the experience of redirecting the existential meaning of young law offenders. Rev. NUFEN [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.2, pp.36-48. ISSN 2175-2591.

The starting point of this text is a reconstruction of the main points of the phenomenological interpretation of Descartes' Passions of the soul by Merleau-Ponty. It is significant that in denouncing a certain ambiguity in Descartes' thought between causal realism, intellectuaThe problem of younghood lived within a context of crime is multifactorial, with great social proportions and a recurrent theme of academic research. However, matters related to the processes surrounding the life reconstruction of these young people, after dealing with crime, are rarely addressed. This study aims to present the results of the comprehensions obtained for a broader research, performed with youngsters after their involvement and separation of the crime context, seeking to investigate the defining elements present on the dynamics of their existential redirection, emphasizing, in the context of this work, Stein's contributions to the apprehension of this phenomena. The testimonies, collected through individual interviews, were phenomenologically analyzed. In the conclusion, it become evident the implications of the existential demands: the self-reconfiguration, the reconfiguration of the meaning of the lived experience and the reconfiguration of the existential positioning dynamic driven by the mobilizing events of the personal nucleus, whose spiritual force enables the rupture of an already consolidated psychic-social chains of determinism.
