RAMIREZ., Ignacio. Vulnerable body and consciousness of value: developments in husserlian phenomenology. Sig. Fil [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.45, pp.96-123.  Epub Feb 16, 2022. ISSN 1665-1324.

The article suggests some aspects of a phenomenological analysis of vulnerability with regard to the condition of bodily vulnerability. In order to describe and make explicit the field of intentional implication of horizons involved in the lived-experiences unity of lived body, the analysis follows a transcendental phenomenological approach with genetic orientation. Afterwards it performs a description of practical horizons of the body and its relation to the genesis of the consciousness of one’s own vulnerability. In this context, the paper points out some relevant reasons of aware anticipation of harm that belongs to the consciousness of being vulnerable with regard to the constitution of the field of values. At the end, the article suggests a reflection on the moral significance of vulnerability.
