"Husserl's Appropriation of the Categorical Imperative". Husserl's attempts to elaborate a formal ethics analogous to logic reaches its highest point in the formulation of a superior formal law of practice, i.e., the categorical imperative, considered by him to be the central problem in ethics. Such formulation constitutes the main core of a system that, at its most fundamental level, aims to determine the formal laws of correct action. In this framework, the aim of the paper is to determine the precise meaning, function and scope of the Husserlian appropriation of the categorical imperative and its relationship with its main reference in the elaboration of a formal ethics: Kantian ethics.

"The Incursion of the Sublime in Ethics according the Kantian Precritical Period". The main objective of this paper is to investigate the originality of the kantian treatment of the sublime. We will study the version corresponding to the pre-critical period, in order to point out that even in this period Kant distances himself from the dominant mode of analysis, represented by Edmund Burke's work. We think that the novelty of the kantian approach lies in the close link established between the sublime and ethics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
