Abstract: The central concepts of Eugen Fink‘s philosophy, which can be called phenomenological cosmology, are the concepts of being and the world. However, the title of his key work also includes the concept of truth, which has not only an epistemological but also an ontological and, last but not least, ethical basis. The ethical dimension of Fink‘s cosmology is not much talked about, yet the question of ethics, values and moral order seems to play an important role for him. Moreover, it turns out that our understanding of the world in the sense of the absolute medium from which the individual finite beings emerge has ethical and moral consequences. The following text attempts to give a picture of Fink‘s ethics and how it relates to his reflections on the world.

Keywords: Eugen Fink – Ethics – Cosmology – Phenomenology – Being – World – Truth​
