'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.' Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century because his humanistic, atheistic, if pessimistic views chimed with a new secularism that was emerging from a Western society dominated by...

In The Basis of Morality, Arthur Schopenhauer confronts one of philosophy’s most enduring questions: what gives a human action genuine moral worth? Rejecting systems founded on divine reward, social approval, legal punishment, or personal advantage, Schopenhauer argues that morality cannot arise from disguised self-interest. He also challenges Immanuel Kant’s ethics, questioning whether abstract duties and universal rules can truly explain unselfish conduct.For Schopenhauer, authentic virtue begins with compassion—the immediate recognition of another person’s suffering as something ...

Comment expliquer le succès tardif mais réel, le retentissement subit de la philosophie de Schopenhauer ? C'est qu'il est possédé de la folie de son temps, cette folie que l'on a si justement appelée la maladie du pessimisme, ou encore la maladie du siècle, der Weltschmerz, la douleur du monde, cette folie qui compte tant de victimes, de Werther à René, de Childe-Harold à Rolla, et d'illustres malades : Byron, Musset, Henri Heine, rieurs attristés, viveurs blasés, sceptiques nuageux, révoltés lyriques qui adorent la vie et la maudissent. Schopenhauer est le théoricien de cette école de poètes.

In this final part to Schopenhauer's momentous and hugely influential work, his original and wide-ranging observations are as lively as ever. Though cast as a 'pessimist' by history, he is anything but that to read - and listen to. Here are the last supplementary comments his original work...

During five sultry days, the lives of the guests, the management, and the workers at New Orleans's largest and most elite hotel converge. The owner has four days to raise the money to save his financially ailing property. The general manager, once blacklisted from the hospitality business, struggles with one crisis after another. A rebellious heiress will do anything to attain her secret desires. The duke and the duchess in the lavish presidential suite are covering up a crime. And within one of the many guest rooms hides a professional thief.

Schopenhauer is considered to be one of the most influential philosophers of all times. Many of his ideas and quotes have been quoted largely and have now become almost commonplace. The essays in this collection are a proof of his breakthrough contributions to Reason, Logic, Progress and Linguistics.

Über die Weiber: Mit den Mädchen hat es die Natur auf das, was man im dramaturgischen Sinne einen Knalleffekt nennt, abgesehen, indem sie dieselben auf wenige Jahre mit überreichlicher Schönheit, Reiz und Fülle ausstattet, auf Kosten ihrer ganzen übrigen Lebenszeit, damit sie nämlich während jener Jahre der Phantasie eines Mannes sich in dem Maße bemächtigen könnten, dass er hingerissen wird, die Sorge für sie auf Lebenszeit in irgendeiner Form ehrlich zu übernehmen; zu welchem Schritte ihn zu vermögen die bloße vernünftige Überlegung keine hinlänglich sichere Bürgschaft zu geben schien.

In this provocative and thought-provoking essay, Arthur Schopenhauer offers a penetrating critique of organised religion, examining its influence on society, morality, and human thought. With characteristic candor and philosophical rigour, he challenges unquestioned beliefs, explores the tension between faith and reason, and encourages readers to confront difficult questions about truth, superstition, and the nature of existence.

The Art of Controversy (or The Art of Being Right) (Die Kunst, Recht zu Behalten) is a short treatise written in 1831 by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in which he presents thirty-eight methods of gaining an unfair advantage in a debate and thereby being right even if you are wrong. Schopenhauer champions the virtue of dialectical argument, in his view wrongly neglected by philosophers in favour of logic, and goes on to discuss the distinction between our conscious intellectual powers and our will. The text is a favourite of debaters including the philosophers AC Grayling and Mary ...

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.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) setzt sich in diesem Text mit einem Phänomen auseinander, das im später 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert europaweit die Gemüter erregte: die Geisterseherei. Die in dem superklugen, verflossenen Jahrhundert, allen früheren zum Trotz, überall nicht sowohl gebannten, als doch geächteten Gespenster sind, wie schon vorher die Magie, während dieser letzten 25 Jahre, in Deutschland rehabilitiert worden. Vielleicht nicht mit Unrecht.

Dialéctica erística: El arte de tener razón, es un pequeño tratado inconcluso escrito por el filósofo alemán Arthur Schopenhauer, basado principalmente en los Tópicos de Aristóteles. Fue publicado en 1864, póstumamente.

Arthur Schopenhauer's The Art of Literature is a lively, illuminating and brutally honest collection of essays on literary style and values, writers and critics, and the nature of genius. Schopenhauer advises seclusion and independent thought, criticizes Pliny's reading habits, and explains the pitfalls of certain schools of thought and even virtues like modesty. His thought-provoking arguments, caustic wit, and accessible style make this a must for any aspiring writer.

Schopenhauers Analyse über den Gegenstand Mensch wird fortgesetzt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die menschlichen Schwächen wie Stolz, Ehre, Eitelkeit und die Abhängigkeit und Überbewertung von der Meinung anderer. Darüber hinaus spielt das Verhältnis von Bürger zum Staat eine Rolle und die ständige Verdrehung und Verwechslung von Lüge und Wahrheit.

Véritable guide de combat rhétorique, Schopenhauer nous invite, afin de convaincre en public, à ne reculer devant rien. Pour avoir toujours raison, il faut ainsi utiliser des stratagèmes tels que manipuler les réponses, utiliser une contre-proposition absurde, ou retourner les arguments de l'adversaire contre lui-même.

Schopenhauer Analyse der menschlichen Seele beschreibt die allgemeinen Eigenschaften der Individualität und definiert die Voraussetzungen für Glücksempfinden bzw. Unglücklichsein, die Auswirkungen bei geistiger Beschäftigung bzw. beim Ausbleiben der selbigen für die ewig gleichen Empfindungsgewohnheiten bei Umständen der Armut bzw. Reichtum, und reflektiert mit seiner Philosophie unseren Geist auf sehr gut nachvollziehbare Weise.
