Discover how Brentano grounds ethics in a natural, universally recognizable foundation. This non fiction work presents a historical and philosophical look at what makes actions right or wrong, aiming to clarify the basis for ethical law and morality.
This edition collects a lecture first delivered in 1889 and translated into English to bring its arguments to a broader audience. It explores how history and philosophy inform jurisprudence, examines the idea of a natural sanction for law, and contrasts different views on what determines the good. The text also situates its discussion within Brentano’s broader project of descriptive psychology and ethical theory, offering readers a rigorous, idea-driven pathway through complex questions about right, wrong, and moral motivation.
- Defines the concept of a natural sanction and how it relates to ethical rules
- Contrasts objective versus subjective approaches to the good and the right
- Outlines Brentano’s critique of purely feeling-based theories of ethics
- Frames ethics within a historical and philosophical context, with philosophical notes and references
Ideal for readers of philosophy, ethics, and law who want a clear, historical, and systematic look at how moral judgments are formed and justified.

The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a novel perspective on ethics and law. The author rejects the idea of natural rights, whether innate or acquired through social development. Instead, the author argues that moral truths are taught by nature herself, and that there is a natural sanction for law and morality. Drawing on psychology and ethics, the author demonstrates that the rightness of an action is analogous to the evidence of a self-evident judgment, and that this rightness gives rise to a legitimate preference for good actions. The author further examines the concept of the good, distinguishing between primary and secondary goods and arguing that only what is good in itself can be truly worthy of love. The book analyzes the complexities of comparing the relative value of goods, acknowledging the limitations of human knowledge in determining absolute superiority. However, the author emphasizes that practical considerations can help guide us in making decisions, as all lesser goods should be made subservient to the good of the widest possible sphere. Ultimately, this book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the origins of ethical knowledge and the natural foundation of law and morality.
