Description

The Origin of the Moral Sensations and Psychological Observations by Paul Rée is a collection of two significant works translated into English for the first time. These essays represent Rée's moral philosophy, which had a profound influence on his friend Friedrich Nietzsche. Rée's ideas combined a pessimistic view of human nature with a theory of morality derived from Darwin's theory of natural selection. This philosophical framework was central to Nietzsche's later work, On the Genealogy of Morals, and continues to shape our understanding of evolutionary ethics today. Robin Small provides an illuminating critical introduction, exploring Rée's life and work within the broader history of Darwinism and his relationship with Nietzsche.
