Description
This set explores questions of moral philosophy and reprints the epic, Ethics, by eminent German Philosopher Nicolai Hartmann. This influential work is arguably Hartmann's most enduring contribution to philosophy and comprises both a general theory of value and a revival of previously neglected Aristotelean methods. This reissue will follow the original arrangement in three parts: Volume One provides a history of normative ethics and ethical theory; the phenomenology of virtues in Volume two is often seen as a masterpiece in its own right and the final volume attempts to tackle the problem of freedom. Also included in this set is Brand Blanshard's Reason and Goodness which presents a thorough critique of relativism in ethics.

Description
First published in 2002. This is Volume VIII of the Library Psychology 12 volume series. The philosophical problem addressed by this book is perhaps the one most relevant to the life of the average unphilosophical man. It can be argued that every man assumes a solution in his life. Much of the first half of this book is historical or exploratory. The second half is highly analytical, examining the relations between ethical claims and other kinds of claims that generally are accorded cognitive status. This is designed to be work of a kind with which advanced students in philosophy are most familiar.
