Abstract

Abstract This Conclusion has two aims. First, it summarizes and reviews the central claims of the existential modernist philosophers discussed in this book. Second, it presents a summary of what the author takes to be a defensible existential modernist position on ethics. The overall conception of ethics that is recommended combines substantial contributions from each of the thinkers— Friedrich Nietzsche, Max Scheler, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Robert Musil—whose ideas have been presented and, in part, reconstructed in the book. It also includes ideas elaborated in the preceding chapters that are only implicit in some of these thinkers, such as the notion of phenomenally intrinsic value.
