Description

Description

One of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Schopenhauer (1788-1860) believed that human action is determined not by reason but by the "will" - the blind and irrational desire for physical existence. This selection from his works on religion, ethics, politics, women, suicide, books, and many other topics comes from his last work, "Parerga and Paralipomena," published in 1851. These texts illustrate humanity locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, and each individual is completely free in a world without God, where art, ethics, and self-knowledge are our only salvation. This innovative - and pessimistic - view has exerted a strong influence on philosophy and art, directly affecting the works of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Wagner among others.
