Abstract
Many arguments are examined in this text: the themes of life, of education, of anthropology and the most important one: that one of birth. According to Maria Zambrano the role of the masters is essential in the development of the human being, in order to live in the society and to take a position regarding the political activity. For this reason it is possible to establish a comparison between Maria Zambrano and Edith Stein, notwithstanding their diversity in relationship with the Spanish style of the first one and the German style of the second.
