    Biography

    Mette Lebech holds her degrees from the Universities of Copenhagen, Louvain-la-neuve and Leuven. She has taught in Maynooth University since 1998 and before that for 3 years at the University of Copenhagen, where she also was a member of the Centre for Ethics and Law. She has worked principally on the themes of Human Dignity and the Philosophy of Edith Stein and is past founding President of the International Association for the Study of the Philosophy of Edith Stein (IASPES).

    Research Interests

    My interest in the philosophy of human dignity centres on the phenomenology of human dignity and its importance for ethics, bioethics, law, human rights, politics, education and nursing. I am also, however, interested in the ontology and metaphysics of human dignity underpinning these disciplines and in the history of the conceptualisation of human dignity as it emerges from the study of the evolution of those disciplines and the institutions in which they are and were practiced.  

    The philosophy of Edith Stein has aided me in conceptualising human dignity and has in so doing convinced me of its applicability in many fields where other less socially aware versions of phenomenology falters. Her contribution to the phenomenology of the social world, and to the understanding of how valuation contribute to the constitution of social reality, deeply fascinate me as does her understanding of how phenomenology, ontology and metaphysics relate.

    The discipline and methodology of phenomenology and its relationship with ontology and metaphysics as well as phenomenology's applicability and usefulness in the disciplines of the humanities, the social sciences, and psychology, are as a consequence also of great interest to me.

    Should you be interested in conducting research in any of these areas, please contact me.
