Nicolai Hartmann was born in 1882 in Riga, Latvia. He studied philosophy and classics, first in St. Petersburg and later in Marburg, where he was appointed to a chair of philosophy in 1920. In 1931, Hartmann was offered the prestigious chair of philosophy by the University of Berlin, where he lectured until the end of the war, untainted by Nazism. From 1945 until his death in 1950 he held a chair of philosophy at the University of Gottingen. Andreas A.M. Kinneging is associate professor in legal philosophy at the University of Leiden, and author of several works in normative theory and intellectual history, including Aristocracy, Antiquity, and History: Classicism in Political Thought, published by Transaction.
On Nicolai Hartmann's Ethics -This is a remarkable and perhaps an
epoch-making book. . . . Certainly Professor Hartmann has brought
into the philosophy of morality and into purely ethical theory a
refreshing vitality and acuteness. . . . So valuable a contribution
to ethics has not been made for many years, and it gives promise of
more to come. . . . It is a genuine contribution of new knowledge.-
--C. Delisle Burns, International Journal of Ethics -In this work
Professor Hartmann has covered the ethical field from end to end in
a luminous survey which never loses its unity, its proportion, or
its philosophic depth. . . . I agree so profoundly with his method
and his main ethical conceptions, and I am so grateful for the
strength and clarity of his exposition, that I can only end by
thanking him for what he has done.- --J. L. Stocks, Philosophy
