Moral und Hypermoral. Eine pluralistische Ethik (lit. 'Moral and Hypermoral: A Pluralist Ethic') is a book about ethics by the German philosopher Arnold Gehlen, first published in 1969. It combines anthropology, behavioral science and sociology and identifies four interdependent forms of ethics: reciprocity, instinctive regulations, family-related ethical behaviour and its extensions, and the ethos of the institutions. It was Gehlen's last book.[1][2][3][4]
