As a starting point for the analysis, I consider two lecture courses held by Husserl: the Vorlesungen ¨¹ber Ethik und Wertlehre (1908/1914) and the Einleitung in die Ethik (1920/1924). I shall try to outline the complexity of the ethical problem in its phenomenological form, considering some internal problems in Husserl's thought concerning the way he tries to develop a foundation for ethics and to identify a possible matter of duty. %K Edmund Husserl %K Phenomenology %K Ethics %K Practical Reason %K Normativity %U http://www.rifp.it/ojs/index.php/rifp/article/view/rifp.2011.0004
