ABSTRACT
The nature of the good—however obvious its character may appear to the feeling for values—is highly complex as regards material. The good might very well contain a whole system of values. The systems of morality which differ most in content are at one in the, that they are all concerned with moral value in itself and as such. The good has evidently a something new in it over and combinations of its constituent parts, and it is just on the fact that the question turns. The ambiguities of the term goodness have repeatedly succeeded in obscuring the difference. The gulf thus formed between the good and all the values which have been mentioned so far corresponds to the fact that moral values are connected with freedom, that the phenomena of imputation, responsibility, guilt and merit, are inseparably bound up with moral values.
