Hildebrand's magnum opus and the cornerstone of his life's work. Building on Max Scheler and going far beyond him, it offers the most nuanced value-based ethics we have. The prolegomena lays out his phenomenology; the main text develops his signature idea of value-response and the transcendence of the person, rethinking virtue theory on the basis of value philosophy long before the Anglo-American revival of virtue ethics. With an extensive introductory study by John F. Crosby.

Reviews & Commentary

Dietrich von Hildebrand’s Ethics is a rigorously argued treatment of many important problems in the philosophy of morals. He puts forth a coherent and insightful realist perspective which strives to be founded in lived moral experience.
In Ethics, we find Hildebrand to be a great philosopher of the heart who helps us connect our emotional life with the ethical task of right action.
One of the great works by a great man. This new edition contains an excellent introduction by John Crosby, and is quite well produced. If you’ve read some of the shorter works by Hildebrand and want to dive into a more systematic treatment of values and value response, this is the book for you.
