Why should I be moral? Why should I give any weight to the interests of others simply for what they are, and not for what I can get out of it? After all, we are all different persons aren't we? So your good is your good and my good is mine. Why should your good, just as such, be mine as well? Why should I love my neighbour as myself if s/he is not myself? Drawing upon the work of two great German philosophers, Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) this book radically challenges the assumptions lying behind these questions. After reading it you may never think of how you relate to others in quite the same way again.
