Moral Freedom
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...
La visione laica del mondo
Viviamo in un mondo sempre più indifferente alla religione e cresce anche la visibilità delle opinioni degli atei. Nel contempo però il fenomeno del fanatismo religioso si diffonde sempre più nelle nostre società, i conflitti basati sulla religione sono addirittura in aumento e le discussioni sui temi laici si fanno di giorno in giorno più accese. In quale direzione stiamo andando? Possiamo individuare una strada che consenta di vivere insieme senza contrapporci frontalmente? Paul Cliteur, in questo suo importante saggio, analizza la situazione attuale e confuta minuziosamente le pretese dei teologi, dei clericali e dei fondamentalisti. Ma non certo per rivendicare una sorta di “supr...

Moral Phenomena
Since the nineteenth century, moral philosophy in the Western world has been dominated by utilitarianism, Kantianism, and relativism. Only a few philosophers have been able to escape from this Procrustean bed. Foremost among these few is Nicolai Hartmann (1882-1950). Together with Henri Bergson and Martin Heidegger, Hartmann was instrumental in restoring metaphysics. Hartmann's metaphysics differs markedly from that of both Bergson and Heidegger, in his indebtedness to Plato.In 1926, Hartmann published a massive treatise, Ethik, which was translated into English by Stanton Coit and published as Ethics in 1932. Ethics is probably the most outstanding treatise on moral philosophy in the twenti...

Aristocracy, Antiquity and History
This brilliant critique of the literature on modernity challenges conventional approaches in two fundamental ways: First, the lineage of the modern turns out to be less ancient and glorious than is usually suggested. Modernity is an upstart rather than a scion of an old and celebrated line. The roots of modernity are held to be less secure than previously thought. This leads the author to suggest that the demise of the old is a matter of rhetoric rather than reality. The old was driven underground rather than extinguished. The inherited traditions are deeply embedded in our souls. We turn to modernity as a half-baked worldview to overcome our estrangement from the past.Kinneging examines thi...
