This lecture discusses the 19th century German Idealist philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's work, On The Basis of Morality, and focuses on his views on what fulfilling one's moral duty (Pflicht) involves. Schopenhauer also criticizes the notion of imperfect duties, restricting the concept of duty to actions whose omission constitutes a wrong.
