Summary
This chapter surveys the (relatively limited) place of philosophical ethics in the development of phenomenology, and the problematical legacy of Heidegger’s thought, specifically, for phenomenological engagement with ethics. It discusses divergent interpretations of Heidegger in both philosophy and anthropology, and different anthropological versions of a phenomenology of ethics. It also considers the distinctive approach to ethics, building instead of Heidegger on Husserl’s unpublished lectures on ethics, in the study of values.
