Overview: Phenomenology, in its traditional encounters with ethics, hascommonly aimed at a more descriptive rather than prescriptive goal.The direction of this project, however, is both phenomenological andprescriptive as I attempt to provide a phenomenological foundation forcommunitarian ethical theory. I argue, following Husserl, that the Egoand the Other arise together in sense and thus we are committed tocommunity in a foundational way. I am always and fundamentallyconstituted as a member of a community - as a Self among Others- and, given this, there are certain ethical implications.Namel
