Sumario: | Karl Schuhmann's work explores Edmund Husserl's philosophy of the state, focusing on his social ontology and the concept of a 'community of love.' Husserl's ideas are positioned within the metaphysical framework of historical facticity, where the state is seen as a guarantor of rational development. The book critically examines the notion of the state as a moral framework limiting individual autonomy and investigates the role of officials or 'arcontes' in achieving a culture based on ultimate rational decisions. Schuhmann compares Husserl's ideas with other philosophers, such as Fichte, and discusses the complexities of Husserl's ambivalence towards the state. Intended for scholars and students of philosophy, this work delves into Husserl's extensive manuscripts to highlight his unique contributions to political philosophy.
