Kurzbeschreibung

One of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Schopenhauer (1788-1860) believed that human action is determined not by reason but by 'will' - the blind and irrational desire for physical existence. This selection of his writings on religion, ethics, politics, women, suicide, books and many other themes is taken from Schopenhauer's last work, "Parerga and Paralipomena", which he published in 1851. These pieces depict humanity as locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, and each individual absolutely free within a Godless world, in which art, morality and self-awareness are our only salvation. This innovative - and pessimistic - view has proved powerfully influential upon philosophy and art, directly affecting the work of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Wagner among others.

Einleitungssatz
If the immediate and direct purpose of our life is not suffering then our existence is the most ill-adapted to its purpose in the world : for it is absurd to suppose mat the endless affliction of which the world is everywhere full, and which arises out of the need and distress pertaining essentially to life, should be purposeless and purely accidental. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

5.0 von 5 Sternen with persistance and arrogance, brain and bile ..., 19. August 2005
Von FrizzText "frizz" (Wuppertal) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Schopenhauer's father committed suicide. Son Arthur had been very devoted to his father Heinrich Floris. The high-sensitive son could not deal with the fact, that his mother Johanna had preferred to talk with Goethe in her Weimar Literary Salon instead of helping her husband, getting more and more depressed as a salesman in Hamburg. A typical, later on dialogue between mother (at that time a famous novelist) and son, fresh university lecturer: "One still will read my writings, at a time, when your books are out of stock and only one copy can be found in a lumber-room." Mother thereupon sneering: "The whole, complete edition of your writings, my son, still will be waiting to get an order to be shipped..." (the reviewer fears that his own frizztext-book might have to suffer the same fate). "The World as Will", as too much inconsiderate will-to-live - in such a way Schopenhauer (February 22, 1788 - September 21, 1860) experienced the whole human being. With persistance and arrogance, with brain and bile, suffering and bitterly, but with sensitivity and empathy as well he wrote - trying not to get overwhelmed by disgust. He had a deep neurotic aversion against women (surely involved by his mother). Once he pushed in anger his charwoman down the stairs backwards. But this female individual offered resistance very intellectually: She successful called a judge and Schopenhauer was sentenced, to pay a pension to her - all her life long. But exactly this evil bile encouraged him, on the other hand, to fight against mother Johanna and Goethe, against Hegel and diverse money-lenders. However just opposite to his choleric, hot-tempered way of life, his philosophical theory proclaimed to be calm as a Buddha. He adored Eastern Vedic (Buddhist) Scriptures. He adored enjoying art as a way out of the more mediocre and less passionate masses. The summary of his philosophy finally is the reference to the noblesse to demand nothing; this German philosopher's hope is, that "willing" might be silenced. 150 years and some wars later we all should agree. "To be vulgar is nothing else than giving the leading role in our consciousness to the will and not to the cognition." This tiny book is still able to help today's readers to climb not a meditative, but a thoughtful level. And still it is not out of stock in the most nations ...

5.0 von 5 Sternen The Beauty of Pessimism, 28. März 2000
Von Mike (Phoenix, AZ) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
This book grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and forced me to evaluate my priorities in life. This book has had more practical influence on the way I actually live my life day-to-day than any other. Never has pessimism been so beautiful. I'm glad I didn't die before I had the chance to read this book. This is the best-kept secret in the annals of wisdom. Schopenhauer's pessimism is like a solvent that cleans all the nasty sludge off your moving parts, and his wit is like a fresh grease-pack in your bearings. Read it and tell a friend!

3.0 von 5 Sternen Eloquent, masterly essays., 19. September 1999
A recapitulation of Schopenhauer's key ideas, such as the vanity of earthly existence and the suffering in the world, along with some engrossing sections on suicide, religion and psychology. The notorious essay on women, I must say, contains some hilarious views which some may now find backward but - (and I dare say this!) - I found myself perfectly in agreement with Schopenhauer with regards to the character of the weaker sex. Otherwise the wit, the erudition, the breadth of scope, are all the marks of a truly great mind and an undisputed master of prose style. I wouldn't recommend this abridged version, though, since it grubbily truncates the essays and the final effect is altogether diluted. However, if one can't get hold of the unabridged one, this edition is an entertaining enough read and deserves a glance.
