Synopsis

The Basis of Morality is a philosophical treatise written by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in 1915. In this book, Schopenhauer explores the fundamental principles that underlie ethical behavior and moral decision-making. He argues that morality is not based on religious or societal norms, but rather on an innate sense of compassion and empathy that is present in all human beings.Schopenhauer begins by examining the nature of human desire and how it relates to morality. He argues that our desires are ultimately self-centered, and that true morality requires us to transcend our own interests and consider the needs of others. He also explores the role of reason in ethical decision-making, arguing that reason alone is not enough to guide us towards moral behavior.Throughout the book, Schopenhauer draws on a wide range of philosophical traditions, including Kantian ethics, Hinduism, and Buddhism. He also discusses the concept of the will, which he sees as the driving force behind all human behavior.Overall, The Basis of Morality is a thought-provoking and challenging work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of ethics and moral behavior. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
