The most comprehensive presentation of von Hildebrand's moral philosophy known to me. Takes into consideration all of von Hildebrand's published writings on ethics as well as a number of unpublished manuscripts. The scholarship is impeccable. --Fritz Wenisch, University of Rhode Island A remarkable and sorely needed contribution to Hildebrand scholarship. It not only draws vital connections with Kant, Brentano, and Scheler but offers incisive analysis of 'the intrinsically important' (values) vs. 'the merely subjectively satisfying, ' akrasia, value blindness, love and happiness. It is especially remarkable for placing Hildebrand in dialogue with Plato and Aristotle and discovering links to von Hildebrand's idea of value-response in Aristotle's treatment of friendship. --Philip Blosser, Sacred Heart Major Seminary A comprehensive presentation of von Hildebrand's moral philosophy that situates it in the history of phenomenology and more broadly in the history of philosophy. In the true spirit of realist phenomenology the authors not only tell us what von Hildebrand has thought but go, with and through von Hildebrand to the things in themselves that are the proper object of philosophical investigation, entering into critical dialogue with von Hildebrand himself. Recommended to readers who want an introduction to von Hildebrand's philosophy as well as to senior scholars who may enter more deeply into the structure of von Hildebrand's philosophy. --Rocco Buttiglione, Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences In a precise and elegant literary style, Cajthaml and Vohanka offer not only a fair presentation of von Hildebrand's moral philosophy but also a guide - in an authentic phenomenological spirit - to 'the things in themselves, ' confronting us with questions decisive for our moral lives. --Mariano Crespo, Universidad de Navarra It would be hard to find a better, clearer, and more philosophical introduction to Hildebrand's moral philosophy than this book. Hildebrand . . . presents what could be called the most positive and attractive vision of moral goodness in the history of ethics, a vision that Cajthaml and Vohanka share with the reader. --Josef M. Seifert, is former Dietrich von Hildebrand Chair of Realist Phenomenology at the International Academy of Philosophy
