The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong
Franz Brentano and Cecil Hague
208 pages~4 hr 9 min read9 chapters$1.99
Right and wrong are known the way evidence is known: Brentano's Vienna lecture on the origin of moral knowledge launched a whole school of value theory. Expanded with notes and appendices, it argues that ethics rests on correct emotion, love and hate rightly directed. Short, dense, and historically explosive. A hinge of modern philosophy, compact enough for an evening.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
