Happy 2021 ,
Robert Hartman shared four steps for developing our inner selves in his book Freedom to Live. Here are the steps and the philosophers he credited:
- - Know yourself. (Socrates)
- - Choose yourself. (Kierkegaard)
- - Grow yourself. (Pico della Mirandola's and Kierkegaard's)
- - Give yourself to something great than yourself. (Jesus)
Each step is empowering and energizing, providing a sense of control and possibility. Especially now, when there is so much going on around us that we cannot control. The benefit to ourselves and the world is endless.
Axiology helps us understand and embrace all the Good we've come into this world with. It helps us accept who we are, while also pointing
out EXACTLY where we can grow. Showing what is possible and shining light on how we can become more.
Hartman said, "This is the material you have to develop to infinity, and there is absolutely no limit... to which you can go...You are your own creation. It's never too late..."
Self-discovery leads to self-knowledge. Self-knowledge leads to self-choosing and self-creating. This leads to impactful giving to others and as we grow our inner selves we have more to give others. What a wonderful way to live, give and love. "Know yourself, Choose yourself, Grow yourself, Give of yourself."

Volume 13 of the Journal of Formal Axiology is Now Available!
A theme emerged as this volume of the Journal of Formal Axiology started to come together. The theme became that of illustrating the evolution of Hartman’s lifelong quest to develop a science of values and
valuation. At the core of his quest, of course, was his development of the theory of formal axiology. But
formal axiology does not stand on its own as a full-fledged science of values. It needs something more. What that something more consists of became the theme of this issue of the Journal. We hope you find it interesting, insightful, and informative.
- C. Stephen Byrum, The Hartman Dissertation: A “Portal” to Hartman’s Formal Axiology
- Robert S. Hartman, Preface to Hartman’s Dissertation: Can Field Theory be Applied to Ethics?

SUBMISSIONS: We are taking submissions for 2021. Guidelines for submission, as stated in the front page the Journal, are:
- This journal is published once a year by the Robert S. Hartman Institute. All articles must have an obvious connection with the formal axiology or value theory of Robert S. Hartman and its applications. Articles may be critical, constructive, creative, theoretical, or applied. None dealing with axiology, in general, will be considered. Articles must advance our understanding of Hartmanian axiology and/or what can be done with it. No manuscripts will be accepted that merely summarize what is already known, or that have been previously published, submitted, or accepted elsewhere.
- MANUSCRIPTS should be submitted as e-mail attachments to Cliff Hurst at[email protected] They
should be in MS Word format, 12 point type. Articles will be subject to blind review, so the name of and contact information for the author(s) should appear only on the title page, which will be deleted by the Editor before sending the article on to members of our Editorial Advisory Board or to other reviewers for their blind assessment of its worthiness for publication.

INSPIRATION FROM HARTMAN'S REVOLUTION AGAINST WAR:
As the New Year arrived amidst plenty of gloomy news, I sought to find comfort somewhere. I find
encouragement in these words that Hartman wrote in The Revolution Against War.
“If the world were not primarily good and orderly, most planes would crash, most cars collide, most people be sick—and insurance companies broke. That they are flourishing is a proof that evil and contingency are a statistically small element in the orderly universe. Hence faith is rationally
justified. We should have the courage to have faith, faith in faith.”
My New Years’ wish is that all members of the RSHI have the courage to have faith in faith.
BOOK NEWS: Work has been completed on a gift,The Wit and Wisdom of Robert S. Hartman: Inspiration
for Living Fully, Quotes by Robert S. Hartman. The anticipated publication is early 2021. I think you will
really l like the content and can't wait to share it with you.
