Ethics and Phenomenology, Hardback Book

Ethics and Phenomenology Hardback

Edited by Mark Sanders, J. Jeremy Wisnewski

Hardback

Description

Ethics and Phenomenology is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between moral philosophy and the phenomenological tradition.  Phenomenology is a vast and rich philosophical tradition which seeks to explain how we perceive the world.

This, in turn, involves questions about one’s relationship to the world and how one both acts and should act in the world.  For this reason phenomenology entails an ethics, even if such an ethics is not always apparent in the work of phenomenological thinkers.

The book is devoted to two central tasks: Section One offers essays exploring the resources available to moral philosophy in the work of the major phenomenologists of the 20th-century, including Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, and others.  Part Two consists of essays demonstrating the way that the phenomenological method can facilitate advances in our thinking through the exploration of contemporary ethical issues, including environmentalism, intellectual property, parenting and others.
