In their work on empathy that the teacher Hussler called "an excellent scientific dissertation," Stein introduced. next to the external perception (of things) and the internal perception (of the self), a third type of perception (empathy fact) that refers to the existence and acceptance of the other or anything else.
Dobner writes that from the conversion empathy for Stein "will become the act of the personal relationship and existential I-Thou and invest the whole sphere of religious experience as expressing agape, as a gift."
It is this dimension of the gift of love, would result in Levinas for which the theoretical dimension is largely subordinate to the ethical and theological.
