Gli aforismi su "La saggezza della vita" di Arthur Schopenhauer costituiscono un classico della letteratura di uno dei maggiori moralisti di tutti i tempi. L’opera indica una via che dovrebbe consentirci di vivere più serenamente o il meno infelicemente possibile. "Bastare a se stesso, esser per se stesso tutto in tutto, e poter dire: «Omnia mea mecum porto» (porto con me tutte le cose mie), ecco certamente la condizione più favorevole per la nostra felicità"Arthur Schopenhauer è stato un filosofo tedesco, cittadino espatriato del regno di Prussia, e uno dei maggiori pensatori del XIX secolo e dell'epoca moderna. Il suo pensiero recupera alcuni elementi dell'illuminismo, della filosofia di Platone, del romanticismo e del kantismo, fondendoli con la suggestione esercitata dalle dottrine orientali, specialmente quella buddhista e induista. Schopenhauer crea una sua originale concezione filosofica caratterizzata da un forte pessimismo, la quale ebbe una straordinaria influenza, seppur a volte completamente rielaborata, sui filosofi successivi, come ad esempio Friedrich Nietzsche, e, in generale, sulla cultura europea coeva e successiva, inserendosi nella corrente delle filosofie della vita.

Bogen indeholder tre tekster af filosoffen Arthur Schopenhauer. De stammer fra bøgerne Verden som Vilje og Forestilling II og Parerga og Paralipomena. Her beskriver han på underholdende vis sit pessimistiske livsyn, der bunder i hans teori om verdens indre natur: en blind vilje eller drift, der ikke kan tilfredsstilles. Da viljen intet mål har kan den ikke tilfredsstilles, og derfor ser Schopenhauer menneskelivet som bestående af elendige, dunkle, angstfulde og pinefulde forhold. I al sin dysterhed kan han dog ikke undertrykke sin humoristiske sans.

On the Suffering of the World is a collection of the later aphoristic writings of Arthur Schopenhauer, known for their incisive, aphoristic style and dark, pessimistic view of human existence.

Cet étonnant (et particulièrement détonnant) petit essai a été publié en 1851. Schopenhauer y justifie la domination des hommes par le sexisme stéréotypé de classe en vigueur à son époque dans la classe bourgeoise du XIXe siècle. Le célèbre philosophe misanthrope propose un texte à replacer naturellement dans le contexte de son époque mais qui n'a pas perdu de son mordant ni de son actualité. Cet ouvrage constitue un témoignage rare sur le sexisme ordinaire en vigueur au XIXe siècle et sur les modalités de sa justification parmi les élites intellectuelles masculines.

Schopenhauer believed that Kant had ignored inner experience, as intuited through the will, which was the most important form of experience. Schopenhauer saw the human will as our one window to the world behind the representation; the Kantian thing-in-itself. He believed, therefore, that we could gain knowledge about the thing-in-itself, something Kant said was impossible, since the rest of the relationship between representation and thing-in-itself could be understood by analogy to the relationship between human will and human body. According to Schopenhauer, the entire world is the representation of a single Will, of which our individual wills are phenomena. In this way, Schopenhauer's metaphysics go beyond the limits that Kant had set, but do not go so far as the rationalist system-builders who preceded Kant.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) is an influential 19th Century philosopher whose works and ideas were followed by other important philosophers, particularly by Nietzsche, who viewed himself as Schopenhauer's successor. His work also influenced Freud's ideas on psychoanalysis.Thomas Mann, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, in his long essay Schopenhauer the Living Thoughts of Schopenhauer, says the philosopher is a "psychologist of the will" and his works to run by way of the psychological radicalism of Nietzsche, straight to Freud and the men who built up his psychology of the unconscious and applied it to the mental sciences.Following Thomas Mann's interpretation of Schopenhauer's ideas, it is not surprising to see Dr. Irvin D. Yalom, a well known psychotherapist and best selling author, choose Schopenhauer as a central character of one of his novels : The Schopenhauer Cure. As in his other two novels based on prominent philosophers, Nietzsche and Spinoza, (When Nietzsche Wept: A Novel Of Obsession and The Spinoza Problem: A Novel)I decided to include "The Stages of Life", of Schopenhauer's Counsels and Maxims in this volume. In this essay he considers that in our childhood we are more given to using our intellect than our will. Following that golden age or magic years of learning about the external world, Schopenhauer warns us that then "… comes the great period of disillusion, a period of very gradual growth; but once it has fairly begun, a man will tell you that he has got over all his false notions "l'âge des illusions est passé". ..Another essay included in this anthology with the evocative title On Thinking for Oneself is written in a didactic style. There, Schopenhauer expresses his strong opinions on the importance of discovering independently what is important for the creative mind. I consider this essay to be relevant in our political environment as well as in our personal and social lives, dominated by social media. In a time of excessive information and opinions that are shared and absorbed without thinking, the ideas contained in Schopenhauer's essay could not be more compelling and current.Following the same ideas, On Books and Reading, another essay included in this book, Schopenhauer can be perceived as an educator and not so much as a philosopher. Here he criticizes those who read for entertainment, as a pastime or for relaxation, consuming books without discerning what is good and what is not or, even worse, reading without assimilating the content. To make the point he uses the following example: you can ruin the stomach and impair the whole body by taking too much nourishment, so you can overfill and choke the mind by feeding it too much.Character is another Schopenhauer essay included in this book. He uses theater to show the contrast between the personality of a narcissistic individual that looks for honor and fame to those actors who only want to perform "great parts: ".In his essay Property, or What a Man Has, Schopenhauer presents the idea of happiness, one of the many topics we often find in his works. Here, the philosopher presents the link between money or wealth and a happy life.Finally, in The Metaphysics of Art, also included in this anthology, Schopenhauer gives an effective path to fight the "Will", which is one of the bases of his philosophy. The "Will", which is in conflict with the intellect, constitutes a series of needs that are an unavoidable part of the human condition and the source of unhappiness, frustration and suffering since what the "Will" commands can never be entirely satisfied.

This collection brings together two of Schopenhauer's most respected works, wherein the philosopher shares his views on life and what he believes to be follies of human behavior.Writing with incisive poise and a great sense of humor, Schopenhauer introduces the various ideas present in his pessimistic philosophy. Holding the usual goals of life - money, position, material and sexual pleasures - in low regard, he explains how the cultivation of one's individuality and mind are far better pursuits, albeit those that most people neglect. Rather than simply criticize the state of humanity, Schopenhauer uses wit and lively argument to convince the reader of the value in his outlook. The practice of an ordinary life and career is thereby demonstrated as spiritually draining, in contrast to concentration upon a wise mind and strong body, plus a moderated or even ascetic approach to material things.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) war ein deutscher Philosoph, Autor und Hochschullehrer. Schopenhauer entwarf eine Lehre, die gleichermaßen Erkenntnistheorie, Metaphysik, Ästhetik und Ethik umfasst. Er sah sich selbst als Schüler und Vollender Immanuel Kants, dessen Philosophie er als Vorbereitung seiner eigenen Lehre auffasste. Aus dem Buch: "Was ein Geisterseher, der sich selbst recht verstände und auszudrücken wüßte, behaupten würde, ist bloß die Anwesenheit eines Bildes in seinem anschauenden Intellekt, vollkommen ununterscheidbar von dem, welches, unter Vermittelung des Lichtes und seiner Augen, daselbst von Körpern veranlaßt wird, und dennoch ohne wirkliche Gegenwart solcher Körper; desgleichen, in Hinsicht auf das hörbar Gegenwärtige, Geräusche, Töne und Laute, ganz und gar gleich den durch vibrirende Körper und Luft in seinem Ohr hervorgebrachten, doch ohne die Anwesenheit oder Bewegung solcher Körper. Eben hier liegt die Quelle des Mißverständnisses, welches alles für und wider die Realität der Geistererscheinungen Gesagte durchzieht. Nämlich die Geistererscheinung stellt sich dar, völlig wie eine Körpererscheinung: sie ist jedoch keine, und soll es auch nicht seyn. Diese Unterscheidung ist schwer und verlangt Sachkenntniß, ja philosophisches und physiologisches Wissen."
