'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.' Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century because his humanistic, atheistic, if pessimistic views chimed with a new secularism that was emerging from a Western society dominated by religion. Despite his rather forbidding image (and a few outdated views), he is one of the most approachable German philosophers, and this is certainly evident in these two key works, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims.

Das vierte Buch des ersten Bandes des Klassikers. "Ich gehöre zu den Lesern Schopenhauers", schrieb Friedrich Nietzsche, "welche, nachdem sie die erste Seite von ihm gelesen haben, mit Bestimmtheit wissen, dass sie alle Seiten lesen und auf jedes Wort hören werden, das er überhaupt gesagt hat". Und so wie es Nietzsche mit der Lektüre von Schopenhauer ging, so ging - und geht es bis heute - vielen, die an tieferen Einsichten in die Möglichkeiten und Bedingtheiten unserer Erkenntnisfähigkeit in die Welt interessiert sind.

Schopenhauer was just 30 when his magnum opus, Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, a work of considerable learning and innovation of thought, first appeared in 1818.

Much to his chagrin and puzzlement (so convinced was he of its merits), it didn't have an immediate effect on European philosophy, views and culture. It was only decades later that it was recognised as one of the major intellectual landmarks of the 19th century.

A classic guide to tricks and tactics for winning arguments, with commentary on the use of and defense against each tactic. The best summary of this audiobook is "being right doesn’t mean you’re gonna win, and this is why". It’s the ultimate guide to spotting the many different kinds of bull people pull in order to win over the crowd, rather than argue the point at hand. There’s very few of them that don’t immediately bring examples to mind, and having it laid out clearly like this is the perfect armour to stop people derailing you.

There are, in total, 31 Essays, 24 of which are presented here. The range of topics is very varied, opening with 'On Philosophy and Its Method' and including 'On Pantheism', 'On Ethics', 'On Jurisprudence', 'On Men of Learning', 'On Thinking for Oneself', 'On Religion' and 'The Vanity of Existence'. Quite a few open windows on to the personality of Schopenhauer himself - for example, he praises dogs as companions, argues that animals should be chloroformed before slaughter: animal welfare was very much in his sights.

There is a cause, or a reason, behind everything that happens. This is the fundamental view behind the classical proposition the Principle of Sufficient Reason, which, in 1813, Schopenhauer chose as his subject for further examination in his doctoral dissertation On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason....

Auch wenn Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) zeit seines Lebens als Misanthrop galt, waren seine Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit (Track 1-11) dennoch ein veritabler Bestseller. Wie führe ich das Leben möglichst angenehm und glücklich? Diese simplen und doch hochkomplexen Fragen beantwortet Schopenhauer in seinem überaus erfolgreichen und noch heute beliebten Werk. Weiterhin in dieser Box vertreten: Versuch über das Geistersehn (Track 12-16) sowie sein postum veröffentlichtes Werk Über die Kunst Recht zu behalten (Track 17-18).

"The Art of Controversy or The Art of Being Right" is an acidulous, sarcastic treatise written by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In it, Schopenhauer examines a total of thirty-eight methods of showing up one's opponent in a debate. He introduces his essay with the idea that philosophers have concentrated in ample measure on the rules of logic, but have not engaged with the darker art of the dialectic, of controversy.

Premier grand philosophe contemporain, Schopenhauer ouvre l'ère du soupçon, l'ère de l'inconscient de Marx, de Freud et de Nietzsche. Bien que sa déconstruction des idées traditionnelles le conduise au constat de l'absurdité de la vie, son pessimisme n'est que provisoire. Par l'art, la morale, la sagesse, Schopenhauer nous arrache à nos peurs et entame la construction d'une doctrine du salut.

The original edition of The World as Will and Idea appeared in 1818, but in 1844 Schopenhauer published an expanded version. It contained the 'Criticism of the Kantian Philosophy', a lengthy document; and Supplements to the First Book ( The Doctrine of the Idea of Perception) and the Second Book ( The Doctrine of Perception or Knowledge of the Understanding).

Schopenhauer expone una visión del mundo como una dualidad: por un lado, la representación, que es el mundo como lo percibimos a través de nuestros sentidos; y por otro, la voluntad, la fuerza ciega y primordial que subyace a toda existencia.

In 1837, the Danish Royal Society of Sciences offered a prize to any essayist who could satisfactorily answer the question, "Is the fountain and basis of Morals to be sought for in an idea of morality which lies directly in the consciousness (or conscience), and in the analysis of the other leading ethical conceptions which arise from it? Or is it to be found in some other source of knowledge?" The Basis of Morality is the essay submitted in 1840 by German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In it, he first mercilessly deconstructs the prevailing Western theory of morality as championed by ...

Parerga means 'supplementary to a main work', and Paralipomena suggests a further supplement, but these two books were anything but a casual addition to his major opus, The World as Will and Idea. For a start, it was the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851 which brought Schopenhauer to the attention of the general public, decades after The World as Will and Idea first appeared.

Wie gewinne ich ein Streitgespräch? Unter den deutschen Philosophen nimmt Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) die Rolle eines Idealisten ein, der von Platon und Kant zu seiner eigenen Erkenntnistheorie fand. Wie man aus Streitgesprächen als Sieger hervorgeht, das ist das Kernthema des vorliegenden Werkes. Eristische Dialektik, das ist die Technik des Diskutierens, und mit seinen 38 rhetorischen Kunstgriffen, die Schopenhauer präsentiert, soll jede Debatte gewonnen werden können. Gefunden wurde das fertige Manuskript ohne Überschriften im Nachlass Schopenhauers.

Das zweite Buch des ersten Bandes des Klassikers. "Ich gehöre zu den Lesern Schopenhauers", schrieb Friedrich Nietzsche, "welche, nachdem sie die erste Seite von ihm gelesen haben, mit Bestimmtheit wissen, dass sie alle Seiten lesen und auf jedes Wort hören werden, das er überhaupt gesagt hat". Und so wie es Nietzsche mit der Lektüre von Schopenhauer ging, so ging - und geht es bis heute - vielen, die an tieferen Einsichten in die Möglichkeiten und Bedingtheiten unserer Erkenntnisfähigkeit in die Welt interessiert sind.

Peut-on encore parler de philosophie après Hiroshima ? Cette question résume à elle seule le désarroi et l'angoisse des philosophes de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle après les atrocités des guerres mondiales. Mais ce désarroi est en germe dès le XIXe siècle, suscité notamment par les « philosophes du soupçon ». Cet ouvrage interroge la spécificité de la philosophie contemporaine et les fondements de ce désenchantement.

The essays in The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics have a rather special place in Schopenhauer’s work, both being written as entries to Scandinavian philosophy competitions, one in Norway and one in Sweden.
