Produktbeschreibung

In 'The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; On Human Nature', Schopenhauer delves deep into the inner workings of human behavior and the complexities of the human psyche. Written in a concise and philosophical style, the essays explore topics such as love, emotion, and the will to live, all through the lens of Schopenhauer's pessimistic worldview. With references to classical philosophy and literature, this collection offers a unique perspective on the human experience within the context of 19th-century German Romanticism. Arthur Schopenhauer, known for his philosophical works on metaphysics and ethics, was influenced by the works of Kant and Plato. His pessimistic outlook on life and focus on individual will set him apart from his contemporaries. It is believed that Schopenhauer's personal struggles and observations of society led him to write these insightful essays on human nature.

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), wherein he characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind and insatiable metaphysical will. Building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism. 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.
