Description
A collection of essays and aphorisms from one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Arthur Schopenhauer. This selection of his writings on various themes, including religion, ethics, politics, and the human condition, is taken from his last work, Parerga and Paralipomena.
Published in 1851, these pieces depict humanity as locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, and each individual as absolutely free within a Godless world. Art, morality, and self-awareness are presented as our only salvation in a world without inherent meaning. This innovative and pessimistic view has had a profound influence on philosophy and art.
Schopenhauer's unique perspective continues to resonate with readers today, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience. This revised edition of his work provides a valuable insight into the mind of a philosopher who has shaped the way we think about the world and our place in it.
