{"product_id":"moral-values-1","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","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54238915068248,"sku":"9781138528369","price":210.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138528369.jpg?v=1777592720","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/moral-values-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
