On the rationality of the affective sphere and its relationship with theoretical reason in E. Husserls’s ethics

The aim of the article is to evaluate to what point does Husserl’s first insight into affective consciousness manage to extend the concept of “reason” to this sphere and analyses whether the way this is accomplished threatens its autonomy regarding theoretical reason. Our main core will be the problem concerning originary value constitution in not objectifying acts of feeling, topic already announced in the Logical Investigations, that plays a central role in Husserl’s early reflections on ethics.
