The Origin Of The Knowledge Of Right And Wrong

by Franz Brentano, Cecil Hague (Translator)

""The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong"" is a philosophical work by Franz Brentano that explores the fundamental question of how humans come to know what is right and wrong. Brentano argues that moral principles are not derived from empirical observation or reason alone, but rather from a special kind of intuition that is inherent in human consciousness. He suggests that this intuition is based on a kind of ""inner perception"" that allows us to recognize the value of certain actions and behaviors. The book also delves into the nature of morality itself, examining various ethical theories and their implications for understanding the origins of moral knowledge. Written in clear and accessible language, ""The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong"" is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
