書籍介紹

叔本華的《論意志自由》和《以道德為基礎》構成了叔本華完整的倫理體系。他們的學説，延續了他的主要著作《世界的意志和表象》，在這裏以更容易理解和自成一體的形式呈現。叔本華在其獨特而有力的散文中指出，自我意識給人自由的錯覺，人類的行為是被決定的，但我們有理由感到內疚，因為我們的行為源自我們本質的個性。他將道德價值定位於仁愛和自願正義的美德，這些美德來自於同情心的基本激勵。道德的基礎最終是形而上學的，建立在對自我和所有其他奮鬥和受苦的存在的直覺認同上。在這本書裏新翻譯了引言和註釋，包含了對康德倫理學的批判，並提出了一個嶄新的立場。

Schopenhauer's two essays On the Freedom of the Will and On the Basis of Morals form his complete system of ethics. Their doctrines, continuous with those in his major work The World as Will and Representation, are presented here in more accessible, self-contained form. Schopenhauer argues, in uniquely powerful prose, that self-consciousness gives the illusion of freedom and that human actions are determined, but that we rightly feel guilt because our actions issue from our essential individual character. He locates moral value in the virtues of loving kindness and voluntary justice that spring from the fundamental incentive of compassion. Morality's basis is ultimately metaphysical, resting on an intuitive identification of the self with all other striving and suffering beings. Theseessays, newly translated here with an introduction and notes, contain a critique of Kant's ethics, and advance a position that was in turn the target of criticism by Nietzsche.
