Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Hartman's groundbreaking work introduces formal orderly thinking into value theory, identifying three fundamental types of value: intrinsic goods (people as ends), extrinsic goods (things and actions as means), and systemic goods (conceptual values). All valuable things share a common structural pattern, fulfilling ideal standards or "concepts." This approach, termed "formal axiology," posits that some values possess greater good-making properties than others, leading to hierarchies of value. The process of valuing is as crucial as the values themselves, with evaluations mirroring the formal patterns of values. Hartman situates his theory within historical value discourse while innovatively advancing toward a new value science. Endorsements highlight the significance of this work, emphasizing its potential to inspire deeper thinking about values and improve individual and societal well-being. Notable figures praise its thought-provoking nature and the breadth of its applications. Hartman, a recognized authority in value theory, presents his ideas with clarity and insight, making a compelling case for the importance of understanding what constitutes goodness. His lifelong pursuit to define "what is good" culminates in the axiom: "A thing is good when it fulfills its concept," aiming to enhance and preserve human life through organized values.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hartman's revolutionary book introduces formal orderly thinking into value theory. It identifies three basic kinds of value, intrinsic goods (e.g., people as ends in themselves), extrinsic goods (e.g., things and actions as means to ends), and systemic goods (conceptual values). All good things share a common formal or structural pattern: they fulfill the ideal standards or 'concepts' that we apply to them. Thus, this theory is called 'formal axiology.' Some values are richer in good-making property-fulfillment than others, so some desirable things are better than others and form patterned hierarchies of value. How we value is just as important as what we value, and evaluations, like values, share structures or formal patterns, as this book demonstrates. Hartman locates all of this solidly within the framework of historical value theory, but he moves successfully and creatively beyond philosophical tradition and toward the creation of a new value science.…
