Abstract

Searchlight on Values is a profound work on a profound subject. As William H. Werkmeister writes in his introduction, “Dr. Cadwallader has given us a sensitive, well balanced, and evaluative account of Nicolai Hartmann’s Value Platonism” ; “Her book, therefore, serves well not only as a judicious evaluation of Hartmann’s Ethics but also as a critical introduction to his value theory as a whole. Seen in this perspective Dr. Cadwallader’s book is a significant contribution to value theoretical discussions in general”.
