ALINIAMENTE AXIOLOGICE ÎN CONCEPŢIA ETICĂ A LUI N. HARTMANN
Axiological Directions in N. Hartmann’s Ethical Conception

Summary/Abstract: N. Hartmannconsiders the values as a second reality, but not secondary. He distinguishes betweenthree species, namely: values, non-values and anti-values. The kingdom of the values sits,after N. Hartmann, on three alignments: the lower level of the goods and of the vitaland material values; relatively-intermediate level that circumscribe the different typesof spiritual learning of the real; the upper or culminating level in the metamorphosis ofvalues. They define the realities and the human beings. It does not act on the physicochemicallevel or at the level of speechless beings. The structural novelty of theterritory of morality does not bind to the psychosocial conditioning, but by the presenceand action of values. The moral values appear going back to the facts. The acts and thefacts are not necessarily what they should be. They are possible, not inherent. Whatmust be done cannot be directed solely on the basis of moral values without the economicand political-legal values. A first particularity of the moral values is the endeavour toovercome the specific context of unmediated conditioning. The law of polarization ischaracteristic to the world of values, but in the case of moral values their motivation ismore complex, the dialecticity can be considered a second particularity of moral values.A third feature of moral values, in the N. Hartmann’s approach, is that they unify anddifferentiate simultaneously human persons. Moral values are not situational, norintentional, but are values of the subject intent. This is the fourth particularity of moralvalues. The valuable foundation of the subject is possible through life, consciousness,will, suffering, anticipation, freedom and the efficacy of action. This, strengthened andfortified by moral values can give meaning to life.
