This first volume of  Husserlian Legacies: Themes for the 21st Century   focuses on hitherto underexamined dimensions of Husserl's philosophical thinking and in particular, values and love. Texts in this series draw from the variety of Husserl's rich original works; they are selected and arranged with the support of the Husserl Archives, Leuven. The texts are made available in English and are primarily targeted to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars.

This volume helps the reader both to investigate the themes of value and love and to gauge their role in Husserl's reflections on related topics: his analysis of philosophy, the sciences as vocational tasks, the emotions and the community of love, as well as his personalistic reformulation of the categorical imperative. The texts gathered, edited, and translated in this volume have far-reaching implications, ranging from axiology and individual and social ethics to the philosophy of emotions, action theory, and the philosophy of science.
