Metaphysics and Morality

(translated by I.I. Blauberg)

Abstract

The work of the French philosopher-spiritualist Felix Ravaisson “Metaphysics and Morality” is translated into Russian by Irina Blauberg from edition: F. Ravaisson, “Métaphysique et morale”, Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale, 1893, № 1, pp. 6–25. In this paper, Ravaisson expounds his ideas about true metaphysics, tracing its origins in the ideas of the philosophers of antiquity and modern times. In his opinion, the practical expression of this metaphysical theory is the ideal of generosity and self-sacrifice, that underlies “heroic philosophy”.
