Life oscillates like a pendulum, from right to left, from suffering to boredom, Schopenhauer writes in 1812.
In a Germany where official philosophy (following the path charted by Hegel) has become entangled in an optimism that expects everything from science, history, and the state, Schopenhauer introduces a reflection on the futility of the world, the pain, and the misery of human existence.
