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 X of twelve in the Library of Philosophy series on Ethics. Written in 1927, this book presents a study in the Coherence Theory of Goodness and looks at areas of will and its context, self and self-knowledge, the world and self and develops into the will as immediate and as individual. The book ends on will as both moral and social. It looks at goodness on two main sides The first is that goodness has its roots in the spiritual activity called willing; that it belongs to things, not in themselves, but as objects of some kind of willing. The second is that goodness belongs to the coherent will; that different kinds of goodness, whether in actions or in things, are due to the different kinds of coherence in the will which wills them; and that moral goodness in particular belongs to a will which. is coherent as a member of an all-inclusive, society of coherent wills.
