The aim of this conference is to analyse Nicolai Hartmann's contributions to practical Philosophy in this field of tension. Hartmann's approach cannot simply be reduced to a 'value platonism', but rather defends the plurality of different types of values, offers reconstructions of normative experiences and describes morality as a historical cultural form that mediates our access to values in the first place. He thus offers himself as a point of reference for a reading of philosophical value theory that seeks a middle way between objectivism and relativism, and in doing so makes a serious proposal for the systematic linking of different fields of practical philosophising.
