Arthur Schopenhauer, On The Basis of Morality | Compassion and Loving Kindness | Core Concepts

This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on Arthur Schopenhauer's work On The Basis of Morality. It examines his views on the relationship between the moral incentive of compassion (Mitleid) and the virtue of loving kindness or philanthropy (Menschenliebe).

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation

I am surprised that he actually has cares about these things.

Thanks you for making videos on this work prof. Sadler!

Schopenhauer's articulation of "Mitleid" is one of the strongest aspects of his entire philosophy. Thank you for also highlighting the "purely objective aims."
