Produktbeschreibung
Essays of renowned philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer are included in this book. The word "Arthur Schopenhauer" is all that is written on the stone marking his tomb in Frankfort, without even the year of his birth or death. When asked where he wanted to be buried, Schopenhauer said, "Anywhere; they will find me. The pessimist Schopenhauer had a sufficiently upbeat conviction that people would eventually pay attention to his message. This conviction never failed him throughout a lifetime of disappointments and neglect in places where he might have most valued appreciation; it only began to show some signs of being justified a few years before his passing.This unanimity does not exist with regard to his philosophical views; he is one of the philosophers who is most frequently misunderstood. He has already been thoroughly explained and criticized, and this will undoubtedly happen again. In practically all of the subsequent articles, but especially in the "Metaphysics of Love," to which the reader may be referred, is evident what the tendency of his underlying philosophical premise was, his metaphysical explanation of the universe.
Autorenporträt
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.
