Produktbeschreibung
A spark of timeless insight, for minds both new and seasoned. The Essays Of Arthur Schopenhauer; The Wisdom Of Life reintroduces a master of 19th century German philosophy to today's shelves and screens. This volume weaves Schopenhauer's sharp reflections on happiness and life with his enduring questions about the will, ethics, and living well. It is not merely a philosophical treatise; it is a practical, humane guide to thinking clearly about our desires, fears, and the limits of circumstance. For philosophy students and general readers alike, the book offers a lucid doorway into existential philosophy classics, inviting readers to test ideas with immediacy and honesty. Historically, Schopenhauer's work stands at the crossroads of Romantic thought and practical ethics, influencing writers, thinkers, and movements that followed. The present edition honours that lineage with careful preservation, restoring voice and cadence for today's audience while honouring its century-spanning resonance. The result is more than a reprint: a collector's item and a cultural treasure, reimagined for both casual readers and classic-literature collectors. Out of print for decades, this edition marks a conscious return-restored for today's readers and for future generations. A compact, persuasive invitation to reflect on the ethics of living well, the nature of happiness, and the stubborn vitality of philosophical enquiry.
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.
