The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the nature of existence, Schopenhauer's philosophy presents the world as a manifestation of a relentless and blind will. Influenced by Kant's transcendental idealism, he crafted a unique atheistic metaphysical and ethical framework that diverged from German idealism. His insights into asceticism and the denial of the self resonate with Indian philosophical traditions, marking him as a pioneer in integrating these ideas into Western thought. Schopenhauer's work exemplifies philosophical pessimism, exploring the darker aspects of human experience and desire.
