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.
