Produktbeschreibung
Arthur Schopenhauer made original and profound contributions to aesthetics and ethics that were widely influential in the late nineteenth century, most notably on Nietzsche, but whose importance has since been underestimated. Better Consciousness: Schopenhauer's Philosophy of Value features a collection of original essays that reassesses Schopenhauer's aesthetics and ethics and their contemporary relevance. Contributed by leading scholars, the essays explore Schopenhauer's theories of value from a variety of philosophical approaches - each governed by the question of whether they stand up to scrutiny and deserve prominence today. Thought-provoking and informed by the latest philosophical scholarship, Better Consciousness offers a new perspective on a great thinker who crystallized the pessimism of the nineteenth century and has many points of contact with twenty-first century thought.
