Produktbeschreibung
"The World as Will and Idea" by Arthur Schopenhauer is a profound and influential philosophical masterpiece that delves into the fundamental nature of reality and human existence. In this monumental work, Schopenhauer presents a comprehensive exploration of his metaphysical and ethical ideas, offering readers a thought-provoking journey into the depths of human consciousness. Drawing upon a diverse range of philosophical and religious traditions, Schopenhauer posits that the underlying essence of the world is an all-encompassing, blind and relentless force called the "Will." He argues that this Will is the driving force behind all phenomena and manifests itself in the ceaseless striving and desires that characterize human life. Schopenhauer's exploration of the human condition is deeply introspective and introspective. He delves into the nature of suffering, asserting that it is an inherent part of existence, and identifies desire as the root cause of our perpetual discontent. However, he also offers insights into alleviating suffering by advocating for the negation of desire and embracing a form of asceticism and contemplation.
Autorenporträt
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.
