Contemporary philosophy has reasserted the belief that philosophy
has practical tasks. This turn reflects an understanding that the
life of the individual and the community is not molded merely by
personal needs and fortunes but also by the strength of dominant
ideas. For Nicolai Hartmann, ideas are spiritual powers belonging
to the realm of thought, but thought has its own strict discipline
and critique of events. In his view, theory must include within its
scope problems of the contemporary world and cooperation in work
that needs doing. New Ways of Ontology stands in opposition to the
tradition of Heidegger. With deep appreciation of the history of
philosophical controversy, Hartmann divides mistakes of the old
ontology into those related to its method and those concerning its
content. Hartmann finds a common mistake behind methodological
approaches inspired by late German romanticism in attempts to
develop a complete systematic account of the categories of being
not only of the ideal, but of real being. The main task of New Ways
of Ontology is to reveal and analyze interdependences and
interconnections. The divisions of being and becoming, of the
separation of existence and essence, as well as the old view that
the real and the ideal exclude each other, require revision. For
Hartmann, whose ideas take us close to modern social science
research, ontology is the neutral category that includes subject
and object, and gets beyond old realism and modern idealism alike.
