Nicolai 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 tour-de-force, Ethik, published in
English in 1932 as Ethics, may be the most outstanding work on
moral philosophy produced in the twentieth century. In the first
part of Ethics (Moral Phenomena), Hartmann was concerned with the
structure of ethical phenomena, and criticized utilitarianism,
Kantianism, and relativism as misleading approaches. In the second
part, Moral Values, 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. Hartmann 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. A compelling and insightful volume, Moral Values
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.
