El amor como motivo ético en la fenomenología de Edmund Husserl

Abstract

Husserl is aware that the "rationalistic" ideal of reason does not, by itself, do justice to the richness of moral life. The life fully achieved does not consist just in following reason's ideal but also in being moved by love. Love has two main characteristics, according to Husserl: (i) it reveals the individuality of the lover and of the beloved and (2) founds a "community of striving" with the beloved.
