In 1837, the Danish Royal Society of Sciences ignited a quest for deeper understanding by offering a prize for the best essay on the nature of morality. Is the essence of our moral compass derived from our consciousness and the ethical concepts it generates, or does it arise from another source? German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer responded with his profound work, The Basis of Morality, published in 1840. In this engaging essay, he challenges the prevailing moral theories of his time, particularly those of Immanuel Kant, and presents his own compelling principles and thought experiments. Schopenhauers key assertion is that compassion is the cornerstone of all morality. In an intriguing appendix, he connects his philosophical insights to the wisdom of the Vedas and Upanishads, revealing a rich tapestry of thought. Despite being the only submission, his essay was controversially rejected, allegedly due to his scathing critique of Hegel, the very judge of the contest who promoted a Hegelian moral perspective.
