Approval, reflective emotions, and virtue: sentimentalist elements in Husserl's philosophy.

In this paper, I focus on Edmund Husserl's analyses of the act of approval and the role he attributes to it in his ethics. I show that we can deepen our understanding of both if we rely on his critical reflections on Shaftesbury's theory of affections in his lecture course Einleitung in die Ethik. T...

      ab: In this paper, I focus on Edmund Husserl's analyses of the act of approval and the role he attributes to it in his ethics. I show that we can deepen our understanding of both if we rely on his critical reflections on Shaftesbury's theory of affections in his lecture course Einleitung in die Ethik. The sections of this course devoted to Shaftesbury are the only place in Husserl's later philosophical production where he addresses the need to clarify the nature of approval from a phenomenological point of view and provides precise indications about the role that such emotions play in our life. I thereby examine Husserl's criticisms of Shaftesbury's account of reflective emotions, and I compare these criticisms with Husserl's account of approval in the texts from the Konvolut über Billigung collected in the Studien zur Struktur des Bewusstseins. I argue that, according to Husserl, approval is an essential but not sufficient component in the pursuit of virtue. The upshot is that crucial parts of Husserl's ethics come from a radical and original reworking of central notions of the early modern sentimentalist tradition.
