Nietzsche. Schopenhauer. Selfishness. Compassion. Innocence.Abstract
We intend to demonstrate in this work as Nietzsche formulates, in the writings that form the second period of his philosophical production, a critique to the moral of compassion proposed by Schopenhauer. For this, we’ll make a review of the Schopenhauer’s theses under which selfishness is the reason antimoral par excellence and, in contrast, altruism is the legitimate basis of morality. We will analyze also the procedure used by Nietzsche to, on one hand, criticize this ideal, and the other, reaching the innocence main result of his philosophical program.
