Schopenhauers Moral PhilosophyAuthor(s): Patrick Hassan\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367548704, 978-0367548704\nSynopsis\nThis volume brings together internationally recognised Schopenhauer scholars to develop new perspectives on his moral philosophy.\n\nDespite anticipating and engaging with many of the arguments now recognisable in Anglophone moral philosophy, Arthur Schopenhauer has often been overlooked as a potential contributor to contemporary discourse within this domain. Not only was he one of the most important 19th-century critics of Kantian deontology, Schopenhauer also developed a plausible moral system of his own grounded in compassion. While interesting parallels can be drawn between his system and the sentimentalist tradition familiar from the likes of Hume and Hutcheson, Schopenhauers idiosyncratic metaphysics provide a unique approach to standard questions in moral psychology, the philosophy.
