A fascinating examination of ethics, religion and psychology, this selection of Schopenhauer's works contains scathing attack on the nature and logic of religion, and an essay on ethics that ranges from the American slavery debate to the vices of Buddhism. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
Arthur Schopenhauer's The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics (1841) consists of two groundbreaking essays: 'On the Freedom of the Will' and 'On the Basis of Morals'. The essays make original contributions to ethics and display Schopenhauer's erudition, prose-style and flair for philosophical controversy, as well as philosophical views that contrast sharply with the positions of both Kant and Nietzsche. Written accessibly, they do not presuppose the intricate metaphysics which Schopenhauer constructs elsewhere. This is the first English translation of these works to re-unite both essays in one volume. It offers a new translation by Christopher Janaway, together with an introduction, editorial notes on Schopenhauer's vocabulary and the different editions of his essays, a chronology of his life, a bibliography, and a glossary of names.
Schopenhauers Die Kunst, alt zu werden reiht sich ein in eine lange Tradition philosophischen Nachdenkens über das Alter. In den hier versammelten Aphorismen und Miniaturen begegnet uns Schopenhauer nicht als der notorische Misanthrop und Pessimist. Ihm gelingt vielmehr eine Hommage an das Altern und die Vergänglichkeit, die zugleich sein Testament und eine Anleitung zum Glücklichsein ist. Am Ende entläßt uns Schopenhauer mit der tröstlichen Gewißheit, daß das Alter zumindest jene Gelassenheit und Geistesruhe gewährt, die Glück überhaupt erst ermöglicht.
"Verden er min forestilling." Med denne påstanden innleder Schopenhauer sitt hovedverk fra 1818. Alt som kan erkjennes, er objekt for et subjekt. Omvendt gjelder det at subjekter bare er subjekt ved å være subjekt for et objekt. Subjekt og objekt er uløselig knyttet sammen i en forestillingsverden av fenomener, hvor hvert fenomen har både en objekt- og en subjektside.
