The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the nature of existence, Schopenhauer's philosophy presents a world driven by a blind, insatiable will, contrasting sharply with the ideals of his contemporaries. He builds upon Kant's transcendental idealism while introducing an atheistic metaphysical system that embraces concepts from Indian philosophy, including asceticism and self-denial. His influential work embodies philosophical pessimism, challenging prevailing notions of idealism and offering a profound critique of human desire and suffering.
