Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A work with a startling, stunning thesis that remains as fresh and valid today as when it was first written a century and a half ago

In a definitive and humane exposition on ethics, Schopenhauer argues, among other things, that compassion lies at morality's core. Novel and influential for its interpolation and critiques of existing philosophers and works--among them Eastern thought and the writings of Immanuel Kant--Schopenhauer's thesis defines the modern conception of what is "moral."

Synopsis:

Persuasive and humane, this classic offers Schopenhauer's fullest examination of ethical themes. A defiance of Kant's ethics of duty, it proclaims compassion as the basis of morality and outlines a perspective on ethics in which passion and desire correspond to different moral characters, behaviors, and worldviews.
