paperback. Zustand: Good. On the Basis of Morality is Schopenhauerâs influential critique of Kantian ethics and his own bold attempt to ground morality in compassion (Mitleid) rather than duty or rational principle. Written for a prize competition in 1839, the essay argues that genuine moral action arises from an intuitive recognition of the shared inner being of all creatures, not from abstract rules or self-interest. Schopenhauer dismantles competing ethical theories with characteristic sharpness, while offering a profound account of empathy, suffering, and the moral significance of the will. A key text in 19th-century philosophy, essential for readers of Schopenhauer, ethics, and the history of moral thought. Photograph available on request. Artikel-Nr. mon0001644115
