The Essays Of Arthur Schopenhauer; The Art Of Controversy

Beschreibung

A bold invitation to think, and to argue with clarity, charm, and courage. The Essays Of Arthur Schopenhauer: The Art Of Controversy gathers a set of philosophical essays that illuminate how to weigh, win, and lose a debate with integrity. This classic philosophy text blends lucid ethics with sharp rhetoric, offering a disciplined look at the logic of argument, controversy and debate, and the art of persuasive writing. Read as a compact course in critical thinking, it rewards both philosophy students seeking a rigorous framework and debate clubs hungry for timeless techniques of constructive disagreement. The collection sits within the German philosophical tradition, its late Viennese roots and nineteenth century Europe echoing through every page, while its influence on Nietzsche and later thinkers remains audible in modern discussions of value, ethics, and power. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition invites casual readers to discover a shaping mind, and appeals to classic-literature collectors seeking a durable, thoughtfully curated voice from a pivotal era in philosophy. A masterclass in articulation, a steady compass for those who study or debate, and a lasting beacon in the tradition of philosophical essays.

Autor

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer was born in 1788 and died on September 21, 1860. Although Schopenhauer's work received little attention while he was alive, it had an influence on several fields after his death, including science, literature, and philosophy. Numerous writers and artists have been impacted by his writing on psychology, ethics, and aesthetics. At the age of 88, Arthur Schopenhauer passed away in Paris in 1848. He was born in Danzig, Germany, in 1788 on Heiligegeistgasse. He was the son of Heinrich Floris Schopenhauer (1747-1805) and Johanna Schopenhauer (née Trosiener; 1766-1838), who were both descended from affluent German-Dutch aristocratic families. Arthur was brought to Le Havre in 1797 to live with Grégoire de Blésimaire's family, a business acquaintance of his father's. In 1811-1812, Schopenhauer studied philosophy at the recently established University of Berlin. Schopenhauer periodically mentioned his wish to get married and start a family when he was living in Berlin. He had an on-and-off relationship with Caroline Richter, who had had numerous lovers and a son out of wedlock. After arriving in Frankfurt, he went through a depressive episode and his health deteriorated. He passed away at home, seated on his sofa, on September 21, 1860, from pulmonary-respiratory failure. He passed away at the age of 72, and a Lutheran preacher officiated at his funeral.
