Herbert Spiegelberg

phenomenology in ethics

Frederick Kersten

pp. 437-449

As revealed in six decades of publications, the dominant interest of Herbert Spiegelberg (1904–1990) was in developing a deontological ethics grounded in phenomenology. Spiegelberg liked to call it a "phenomenology in ethics" rather than a "phenomenological ethics" because not all issues in ethics are ipso facto amenable to phenomenological analysis and grounding. Phenomenology has its limits.
