Some aspects of professional activity of the scientist presented in ethical works of E. Husserl are considered in this article. Responsibility to reason and consequences of scientific activity before civilization come to light as the ethical center of the phenomenological doctrine of Husserl. The author demonstrates that the aspect of formal following to the chosen norms and values, especially within his professional activity is very important for Husserl. The German phenomenologist selects various laws such as absorption and summaring defining standards and valuable behavior of the person in his professional activities and going beyond their limits. He speaks about professional life in high sense of the word as the value giving calling and “pure” satisfaction to the person. Husserl emphasizes that it is already impossible to tear off theoretical life from practical, to split concrete life of the theorist on two parallel vital activity and professional activity of the scientist is filled with a true meaning in the self-realization as we are based on phenomenological position.
