About this Item

"FORMALISM IN ETHICS represents the major contribution of early-twentieth-century Continental philosophy to the field of ethics. It is a work that remains virtually unrivaled in terms of originality, depth, and scope; at the heart of the book one finds Scheler's phenomenological, sociological, and metaphysical explication of the person, personal values, and the foundation of moral obligation in values, as well as his discussion of the relationship of ethics to sociology, religion, and metaphysics." This book has 620 pages. The text contains NO internal marks whatsoever.
