Autorenporträt
Arthur Schopenhauer, born on February 22, 1788, in Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland), was a German philosopher best known for his pessimistic philosophical system, which has had a substantial influence on existentialism and psychoanalysis. Schopenhauer's philosophy espoused the primacy of the 'Will' as the driving force of existence, drawing on Eastern philosophies and the work of his intellectual predecessor, Immanuel Kant. Schopenhauer's magnum opus 'The World as Will and Representation' underscored his conception of the Will as the irrational force behind the world of appearances. In addition to his main work, Schopenhauer is renowned for his essays, which distill his philosophy into more accessible language and practical insights. Among these, 'The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer: The Wisdom of Life' stands out as a significant contribution that reflects on the art of living and the ways individuals might seek contentment in a world governed by an often-indomitable Will. His literary style is characterized by a caustic wit and a tendency towards metaphor and aphorism, facilitating both the instruction and captivation of his readers. Despite being largely ignored during his lifetime, Schopenhauer's ideas gained posthumous recognition and continue to impact philosophical thought. He died on September 21, 1860, in Frankfurt, Germany, but his philosophical legacy endures through his written works and the subsequent thinkers they influenced.
