Summary/Abstract: In the article, the ethics of G. W. F. Hegel is considered as a kind of consummation of the new age ethics. Hegel was not satisfied by the ethical theories of his predecessors. Although he appreciated the ethics of Kant, he was nevertheless dissatisfied by Kant's moralistic approach and made attempts to overcome it. Hegel was confident that in the theory of morality he managed to surpass subjectivism. In that theory the originator of the common principles of obligation is not a separate person but society, from which, according to Hegel, they get their objective power.
