'''Ethical individualism''', the philosophical foundations of which [[Rudolf Steiner]] already discussed in detail in his main philosophical work, the «[[Philosophy of Freedom]]», published in 1894<ref>The "Philosophy of Freedom" was completed already at Michaelmas 1893.</ref>, is intended to gradually expand ethics based on merely traditionally handed-down value concepts and moral duties through a truly free morality to moral autonomy and later to replace it completely. Ethical individualism is based on man's individual ability to grasp spiritual-moral content and values autonomously through moral intuition in a given situation, freely and independently of traditional moral principles, or to bring them forth anew creatively.

{{GZ|The mere concept of duty excludes freedom because it does not want to recognise the individual, but demands subjection of the latter to a general norm. Freedom of action is only conceivable from the standpoint of ethical individualism.|4|165}}

{{GZ|When Kant says of duty: "Duty! thou sublime, great name, which hast nothing popular in itself, which leads to ingratiation, but demands submission", which "lays down a law... before which all inclinations fall silent, even if in secret they oppose it", man replies from the consciousness of the free spirit: "Freedom! thou friendly, human name, who graspest in thyself all that is morally beloved, which most dignifies my humanity, and makest me nobody's servant, who dost not merely lay down a law, but waits what my moral love will itself recognise as a law, because it feels itself unfree towards every law that is only enforced."

This is the opposition of merely lawful and free morality.|4|170f}}
