The possibility for a practical view of ethics: Husserl and Heidegger on the philosophy of law
Main Article Content
Abstract
This contribution centres on the practical view of ethics and its connection with the philosophy of law as it is portrayed in the works of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. According to these two philosophers, ethics determines both the expectations for human behaviour, as well as their obligations to society. In carrying out this analysis, I consider the function of law and then its regulated function among individuals and the state. Thus, I show how the individual’s orientation in the context of society makes an ethical statement, determined by humans’ actions throughout their existence.
