George Stone’s Reviews > The Basis of Morality > Status Update

Listening to this as an audiobook. Schopenhauer is writing an essay to the Royal Society on the basis of morality, and starts with a critique of Kant’s categorical imperative, his argument claiming that this ethical framework is based on theological principles and assumptions. This is compelling and Nietzsche’s claim that ethics are invented after a moral claim is asserted may ring true here.
