Dietrich von Hildebrand (1889-1977) – A Contemporary Philosopher and Ethicist

Summary/Abstract: The Author presents the profile of Dietrich von Hildebrand. His philosophy can be qualified as a neo-Augustinian philosophy. An advantage of such philosophy is its maximalism, which is not a feature of philosophy any longer in present days. Its maximalism manifests itself, at most, in declarations of E. Husserl (who was a real inspiration for Hildebrand) who tried to realize the postulate of “the return to things themselves” and that of “the first and the last philosophy”. Moreover, its essential value consists in referring to the great tradition of classical philosophy and its deeply humanistic character. The thought of Hildebrand, however, seems to have few problem points such as its inclination to Platonic idealism and separationism, reluctance to the integrality of philosophical object, and a-causality which does not permit to grasp any bases of the relation between things.
