The paper presents the husserlian's conception of personalidentity through the analysis of the concept of motivation. The analogy between theoretical reason and practical reason, as it appears in the Ethical Lectures of 1914, will be compared with the arguments of Ideas II. In this book, in which there are decisive arguments concerning constitution of the spiritual or cultural world, the personal identity a key-concept to understand clearly the analogy between logic and ethics, analogy considered only formally in the Ethical Lectures of 1914.
