This is an attempt to present a theory of morals that is broad but specific, non-reductive but coherent. The author's approach is governed by the "good persons exist - how are they possible". It explores what is good, or has been considered to be good within various normative systems of belief. Central to this method is the author's premise that our social world view is constructed around a hierarchy of ethical norms. Ethics are therefore a condition of our world, because our presence in the world is governed by social meanings which are the instruments of social regulation. The author explores the social corollaries of this grounding of ethics in the normative categories of our social "life-world". Analyzing central concepts of ethics (such as voluntary actions, responsibility, consequences, justice, as well as wider notions of moral authority and mental states), she aims to provide a grounding for a general theory of morals.

"Autrice d'une oeuvre aussi importante par son ampleur (plus de trente- cinq titres) que par sa profondeur, Ágnes Heller reste encore peu traduite dans notre langue. Avec Une éthique de la personnalité, le lecteur français accède enfin à une pensée majeure qui éclaire non seulement l'époque, mais également le chemin personnel de chacun. Dans un monde où il n'est plus de principes certains s'imposant à tous, il ne peut y avoir d'éthique qu'individuelle : l'éthique de la personnalité. Cela ne livre pas pour autant la morale à l'arbitraire de notre caprice. Car il est parmi nous des hommes et des femmes remarquables qui prouvent par leur existence même que l'on peut toujours agir avec sagesse et bonté. Ces bonnes personnes sont réelles. Comment sont-elles possibles ? demande Ágnes Heller."
