Description
A collection of essays and aphorisms from one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Arthur Schopenhauer. This selection is taken from his last work, Parerga and Paralipomena, published in 1851.
Schopenhauer's writings on religion, ethics, politics, women, suicide, books, and many other themes depict humanity as locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, with art, morality, and self-awareness offering our only salvation in a Godless world. His innovative and pessimistic view has had a profound influence on philosophy and art.
Readers of philosophical works will find this collection thought-provoking and insightful into the human condition. The book is presented in its original form, with no additional commentary or introduction.
