Product Description

Arthur Schopenhauer s The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics (1841) consists of two groundbreaking essays: � �On the Freedom of the Will’ and ��On the Basis of Morals� . The essays make original contributions to ethics and display Schopenhauer� �s erudition, prose-style and flair for philosophical controversy, as well as philosophical views that contrast sharply with the positions of both Kant and Nietzsche. Written accessibly, they do not presuppose the intricate metaphysics which Schopenhauer constructs elsewhere. This is the first English translation of these works to re-unite both essays in one volume. It offers a new translation by Christopher Janaway, together with an introduction, editorial notes on Schopenhauer� s vocabulary and the different editions of his essays, a chronology of his life, a bibliography, and a glossary of names.

The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Schopenhauer) Review

The paperback edition listed here by Amazon is not the same edition as the Cambridge University Press hardcover translated by Janaway. Rather, the paperback is a completely different edition from Oxford University Press translated by David Cartwright and Edward Erdmann. The scholarly apparatus attached to the Cambridge UP edition is a little more detailed, as you might expect given the price. Both translations are an improvement, from a strictly philosophical perspective, over the Payne translations of these two Schopenhauer essays.
