"Ethics" is Nicolai Hartmann's magnum opus on moral philosophy.
Volume 1, "Moral Phenomena," is concerned with the nature and
structure of ethical phenomena. Volume 2, "Moral Values," describes
all values as forming a complex and imperfectly known system. The
final volume, "Moral Freedom," deals with one of the oldest puzzles
in both philosophy and theology: the individual's freedom of the
will. Freedom of the will is a necessary precondition of morality.
Without it, there is no morality in the full sense of the word. In
"Moral Freedom" Hartmann sets out to refute the determinist view
that freedom of the will is impossible. Following Kant, while
rejecting his transcendentalism, Hartmann first discusses the
tension between causality and the freedom of the will. The tension
between the determination by moral values and the freedom of the
will is next examined, a crucial issue completely overlooked by
Kant and virtually all other modern philosophers, but recognized by
the scholastics. Why should we believe in the freedom of the will
with regard to the moral values? Are there good reasons for
thinking that it exists? If freedom of the will vis-a-vis the moral
values does exist, how is it to be conceived? "Moral Freedom"
concludes with the famous postscript on the antinomies between
ethics and religion. Hartmann's "Ethics" may well be the most
outstanding treatise on moral philosophy in the twentieth century.
Andreas Kinneging's introduction sheds light on the volume's
continuing relevance.
