Hartmann stands in the tradition of constructive philosophy of science , which was founded by Wilhelm Kamlah and Paul Lorenzen . He shares their understanding of science as methodically ordered action. Based on this, he and Peter Janich have consistently expanded the perspective of methodical reflection to include all of the human activity that determines culture, a development that was characterized by the term “ culturalistic turn ” ( methodological culturalism ).

It is the special merit of Hartmann that in this context he developed the conceptual, i.e. terminological foundations of psychology as a research discipline on the border between nature and culture - a comparison in which, on a scientific level, the more well-known of body and soul or body and spirit - has subjected it to an in-depth epistemological analysis and constructive criticism. His work therefore also makes contributions to the philosophy of mind , such as his discussion of the mind- body problem in analytical philosophy or the articles on the subject of free will .

With the title “On Inferring. An Inquiry into Relevance and Validity ”, Hartmann developed philosophically based semantics for the logic of relevance and presented its formal implementation in calculi of natural reasoning .

Since 2007 Hartmann has been working on a new "system of philosophical sciences". On the basis of expanded methodological means of the “culturalistic turn” and based on the model of GWF Hegel's Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences in outline, philosophical problems are to be dealt with in their systematic overall context. Philosophical problems are understood to mean the traditional problems of theoretical and practical philosophy in the narrower sense as well as the epistemological and epistemological foundations of the individual sciences of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, neurosciences, psychology and the humanities as well as natural history. The monograph should appear in seven volumes from around 2022.
