Phenomenology, in its traditional encounters with ethics, has commonly aimed at a more descriptive rather than prescriptive goal. The direction of this text is both phenomenological and prescriptive as it attempts to provide a phenomenological foundation for communitarian ethical theory. It argues, following Husserl, that the Ego and the Other arise together in sense and we are committed to community in a foundational way. Consequently, we are foundationally imbedded in a deep community and a deep communitarian ethic.
