The Origin Of The Knowledge Of Right And Wrong

by Franz Brentano

The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong is a philosophical treatise written by Franz Brentano. The book explores the fundamental question of how humans come to understand the concepts of right and wrong. Brentano argues that the knowledge of morality is not derived from empirical observation, but rather is a product of our rational faculties. He posits that moral principles are not subjective or culturally relative, but rather objective and universal. Brentano's work is considered an important contribution to the field of moral philosophy and has influenced the works of many subsequent philosophers. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the topic of ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
