    Arthur Schopenhauer's Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung is one of the most important philosophical works of the nineteenth century, the basic statement of one important stream of post-Kantian thought. It is without question Schopenhauer's greatest work. Conceived and published before the philosopher was 30 and expanded 25 years later, it is the summation of a lifetime of thought.For 70 years, the only unabridged English translation of this work was the Haldane-Kemp collaboration. In 1958, a new translation by E. F. J. Payne appeared that decisively supplanted the older one. Payne's translation is superior because it corrects nearly 1,000 errors and omissions in the Haldane-Kemp translation, and it is based on the definitive 1937 German edition of Schopenhauer's work prepared by Dr. Arthur Hübscher. Payne's edition is the first to translate into English the text's many quotations in half a dozen languages. It is thus the most useful edition for the student or teacher.

Their doctrines are here presented in more accessible, self-contained form than in his larger work, and in a new translation, introduced by Christopher Janaway, that preserves Schopenhauer's style in modern English.

    A fascinating examination of ethics, religion and psychology, this selection of Schopenhauer's works contains scathing attack on the nature and logic of religion, and an essay on ethics that ranges from the American slavery debate to the vices of Buddhism. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

    One of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Schopenhauer (1788-1860) believed that human action is determined not by reason but by 'will' - the blind and irrational desire for physical existence. This selection of his writings on religion, ethics, politics, women, suicide, books and many other themes is taken from Schopenhauer's last work, Parerga and Paralipomena, which he published in 1851. These pieces depict humanity as locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, and each individual absolutely free within a Godless world, in which art, morality and self-awareness are our only salvation. This innovative - and pessimistic - view has proved powerfully influential upon philosophy and art, directly affecting the work of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Wagner among others.

    "Uvidenhed degraderer først mennesket, hvor den optræder i selskab med rigdom. Den fattige ligger under for armod og nød; hos ham er det arbejdspræstationerne, som erstatter ham viden og beskæftiger hans tanker. De rige derimod, som er uvidende, lever kun for deres lyster og ligner kvæg; noget man dagligt ser. Og hertil kan endnu føjes den bebrejdelse, at man ikke har gjort brug af sin rigdom og sine ledige stunder til det, der forlener dem med deres allerstørste værd.""Om bøger og læsning" består af en række mindre tekster af den anerkendte filosof Arthur Schopenhauer udvalgt og oversat af Ingeborg Buhl. Bogen er delt op i små tekstbidder og giver således et overskueligt overblik over samt et spændende indblik i Schopenhauers filosofi.Den tyske filosof Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) er kendt som hovedfiguren inden for den filosofiske retning pessimisme. Schopenhauer var i høj grad påvirket af buddhisme og Immanuel Kants filosofi, og hans egen filosofi er både et modsvar til og en udvidelse af Kants erkendelsesfilosof. "Verden som vilje og forestilling" (1818) er Schopenhauers mest kendte værk, og hans tanker har påvirket store tænkere, kunstnere og forfattere som Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Lev Tolstoj, Thomas Mann og Ludwig Wittgenstein.

    ‘100 Quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer: Great Philosophers & Their Inspiring Thoughts’ is a cherry-picked collection of some of Schopenhauer’s most incisive and pertinent observations. With many dealing with the relationship between art and philosophy, this is a superb read for artists and philosophers alike. While many of his proposals steer towards melancholy and sombreness, they’re always shot through with his dry sense of humour. A superb addition to any library or coffee table.Known as the ‘artist’s philosopher,’ Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860) was born in Danzig. At the University of Göttingen, he became aware of the Age of Enlightenment movement and the philosophers Plato and Immanuel Kant.After the death of his father, Schopenhauer lived in Weimar, where he befriended the noted playwright, poet, and novelist, Wolfgang von Goethe. Their many discussions on the nature of art and philosophy laid the groundwork for many of Schopenhauer’s later works.After a stint working for the ‘Dresden Evening Newspaper,’ he focused on his most famous work, ‘The World as Will and Idea.’

    "Jeg tager her begrebet livsvisdom ganske i ordets almindelige betydning, nemlig som den kunst at gennemføre livet så behageligt og lykkeligt som muligt; anvisningen hertil kunne også kaldes eudæmonologi: med andre ord vejledning til en lykkelig tilværelse. Denne kan nu atter defineres som den tilværelse, der absolut er at foretrække for ikke-tilværelsen, rent objektivt betragtet eller snarere (da det her kommer an på en subjektiv dom) ved koldt og modent overlæg."Arthur Schopenhauers pessimistiske filosofi er langt mere kompliceret og positiv end det, man forbinder med ordet pessimisme i den daglige tale. I "Livsvisdom" tegner han et nøgternt og overskueligt billede af pessimismens udlægning af, hvordan det gode liv kan leves, når blot man accepterer verden med alle dens skyggesider samt menneskets livsvilkår, som de i virkeligheden er.Bogen er oprindeligt udgivet i 1851.

    L'Art d'avoir toujours raison (titre d'origine : " La Dialectique éristique " ) est un petit traité pratique et humoristique de mauvaise foi : de façon à la fois sarcastique et pragmatique, Schopenhauer y expose une série de stratagèmes permettant de l'emporter lors de controverses, indépendamment de la vérité du point de vue que l'on soutient. Ce travail qu'il considère comme le premier essai d'une " dialectique scientifique " n'ayant pas d'équivalent à son époque a aussi pour but de bien distinguer ces stratagèmes afin de pouvoir les dénoncer.

    Philosophe allemand, Arthur Schopenhauer expose sa philosophie, très tôt élaborée, dans son ouvrage majeur Le Monde comme volonté et représentation (1819) où il énonce que : "La volonté singulière d'un individu n'a qu'une existence illusoire, elle est de toutes parts immergée dans le jeu infini et absurde d'une réalité qui la dépasse et finit par la détruire". Pour éteindre cette volonté, Arthur Schopenhauer propose l'abolition des désirs avec l'art qui permet l'évasion de la vie, la morale pour se délivrer de l'égoïsme et l'ascétisme inspiré du bouddhisme. Sa philosophie a eu une influence importante sur certains écrivains, philosophes ou artistes du XIXe et XXe siècle (Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Mann, Fedor Dostoïevski ou encore de nos jours Michel Houellebecq). Schopenhauer est un maître du genre des petits textes pittoresques en marge de son œuvre monumentale de philosophe consacré. D'un côté, le très sérieux philosophe du Monde comme volonté et comme représentation, de l'autre le philosophe drolatique et sarcastique dont l'Essai sur les femmes constitue un morceau de choix. " Ce qui rend les femmes particulièrement aptes à soigner, à élever notre première enfance, c'est qu'elles restent elles-mêmes puériles, futiles et bornées; elles demeurent toute leur vie de grandes enfants, une sorte d'intermédiaire entre l'enfant et l'homme. " Délicieusement misogyne ? A vous d'en juger ! Schopenhauer critique les femmes de manière métaphysique : les femmes, par l'attrait sexuel dont elles sont l'objet, assujettissent l'homme à l'espèce et sont ainsi l'instinct pur, la volonté de volonté. Schopenhauer, avec Socrate, est le philosophe le plus virulent à l'égard des femmes.

    La philosophie d'Arthur Schopenhauer est sombre, pessimiste, parfois brutale, mais ne s'empêche pas de résonner d'un rire sarcastique. Dans son oeuvre majeure, le Monde comme Volonté et Représentation, Schopenhauer démontre que le libre-arbitre individuel est illusoire, sachant que la seule Volonté qui compte n'est que celle de l'espèce qui tend à se reproduire pour perdurer. Il développe cette position jusqu'au bout dans l'ironique Métaphysique de l'amour, pour en tirer des conclusions souvent hilarantes. Sa Dialectique éristique est plus connue sous le titre "L'Art d'avoir toujours raison" : c'est un manuel d'autodéfense satirique qui contient toutes les armes pour sortir victorieux d'une discussion - des plus logiques aux plus contestables. Cette sélection de 100 citations vous fera découvrir cette pensée majeure sous toutes ses facettes, du plus profond au plus drôle, en passant par les domaines de l'esthétique, de la rhétorique, ou des femmes.
