{"product_id":"moral-values-nicolai-hartmann-9780765809629","title":"Moral Values","description":"\u003cp\u003eNicolai Hartmann (1882-1950), along with Henri Bergson and Martin Heidegger, was instrumental in restoring metaphysics to the study of philosophy. Unlike his contemporaries, however, Hartmann was clearly influenced by Plato. His \u003cem\u003etour-de-force\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eEthik\u003c\/em\u003e, published in English in 1932 as \u003cem\u003eEthics\u003c\/em\u003e, may be the most outstanding work on moral philosophy produced in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the first part of \u003cem\u003eEthics\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eMoral Phenomena\u003c\/em\u003e), Hartmann was concerned with the structure of ethical phenomena, and criticized utilitarianism, Kantianism, and relativism as misleading approaches. In the second part, \u003cem\u003eMoral Values\u003c\/em\u003e, the author describes all values as forming a complex and as yet imperfectly known system. The actualization of the non-moral and elementary moral values is a necessary condition for the actualization of the higher values. It is on this account that rudimentary values have a prior claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHartmann outlines the main features of the chief virtues, and shows that the moral disposition required in any exigency is always a specific synthesis of various and often conflicting values. Specifically describing fundamental moral values-such as goodness, nobility, and vitality-and special moral values-such as justice, wisdom, courage, self-control, trustworthiness, and modesty-Hartmann takes theoretical philosophy and brings it very much into the realm of the practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compelling and insightful volume, \u003cem\u003eMoral Values\u003c\/em\u003e remains an essential contribution to the moral and ethical literature of the twentieth century. Hartmann offers a self-contained system of ethics that yet offers a conservative outlook on social life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolai Hartmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0765809621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765809629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 6.04w x 1.18d","brand":"Nicolai Hartmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120173805823,"sku":"9780765809629","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c04d1f43-b63e-44ed-8f09-fb8aeb5291bc.jpg?v=1687412939","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/moral-values-nicolai-hartmann-9780765809629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
