Description
Husserl's 20th-century phenomenological project remains the cornerstone of modern European philosophy. The place of ethics is of importance to the ongoing legacy and study of phenomenology itself.
Husserl's Ethics and Practical Intentionality constitutes one of the major new interventions in this burgeoning field of Husserl scholarship, and offers an unrivaled perspective on the question of ethics in Husserl's philosophy through a focus on volumes not yet translated into English.
This book offers a refreshing perspective on stagnating ethical debates that pivot around conceptions of relativism and universalism, shedding light on a phenomenological ethics beyond the common dichotomy.

Reviews
-
Susi Ferrarello has performed a great service for both the world of Husserl studies and for phenomenology in general by making clear the centrality of a social and ethical problematic in Husserl's life-work.
Human Studies
-
Ferrarello's expertise is beyond doubt ... It pays ... to work carefully through these pages and allow Ferrarello's exposition of Husserl's ethics to gradually emerge.
Ethical Perspectives
-
Ferrarello's book is a very concrete and very compelling study of Husserl's thought on ethics across his corpus. Indeed, Ferrarello shows how Husserl's earlier descriptions of such things as the logic of wholes and parts and transcendental intersubjectivity continue to be compelling both on their own terms and as resonating with later Continental thinkers' use of the ethical themes of situation and embodiment.

-
This book reveals a new Husserl, one attentive to feelings and the emotional life. Ferrarello presents an ethics of actions grounded in embodied, practical intentionality. This elegant, clear book is highly recommended for any reader, phenomenologists and non-phenomenologists alike, interested in ethical philosophy and intentionality.
Stefano Giacchetti, Professor of Philosophy, Loyola University, USA
