Studies in Pessimism de Arthur Schopenhauer

Studies in Pessimism

Arthur Schopenhauer

A disciple of Kant and a significant factor in shaping Nietzsche's thinking, Arthur Schopenhauer worked from the foundation that reality is but an extension of our own will, and that human life is characterized chiefly by misery. In this essay, translated by THOMAS BAILEY SAUNDERS (1860-1928) and first published in English in the 1890s, Schopenhauer offers his thoughts: - on "the sufferings of the world," and why evil is positive - on "the vanity of existence" - on suicide - on immorality, and why it is less than desirable - on women, and why "they remain children their whole life long" - and more. Students of philosophy and of the 19th-century intellectualism will find this a fascinating read.

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.
