Counsels and Maxims

Autor Arthur Schopenhauer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 noi 2020

Counsels and Maxims find Schopenhauer at his gloomiest. Despite its pessimistic outlook, the strength of the arguments in this collection saved the German philosopher's career after the failure of some of his earlier work. Deeply influencing the later work of Nietzsche, the ideas developed here contain the essence of his philosophy of practical materialism in its later and more humanistic form.

Notă biografică

Arthur Schopenhauer (22 February 1788 - 21 September 1860) was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation (expanded in 1844), which characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind noumenal will. He was among the first thinkers in Western philosophy to share and affirm significant tenets of Indian philosophy, such as asceticism, denial of the self, and the notion of the world-as-appearance. His work has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism.
