Abstract

Karol Frenkel took as the object of his research the inner need to come to terms with the tradition in which he had been brought up. He developed an original conception of independent ethics. In his doctoral thesis, he analysed two competing ethical systems formulated by David Hume and Arthur Schopenhauer, which sought ethical determinants in the affective sphere. These proposals proved unsatisfactory to him, which is why he proposed his own solution, derived from his understanding of the concept of morality. From today’s perspective, it was the first attempt to formulate a concept of analytic ethics, which chronologically speaking preceded the analogous solutions proposed by George Moore in Principia Ethica.
