Listen to the greatest thinkers of all time as they explore the deepest questions of human existence.

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.

'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 Despite his rather forbidding image (and a few outdated views), he is one of the most approachable German philosophers, and this is certainly evident in these two key works, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and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.

Counsels and Maxims is a classic work by noted German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. His work has influenced some of the modern world's greatest thinkers, including Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, and Erwin Schrödinger. This piece was originally translated by Thomas Bailey Saunders.

Arthur Schopenhauer's "The Wisdom of Life" is a compelling exploration into the nature of happiness and fulfillment. Written by a renowned 19th-century philosopher, this work delves into human desires and motivations, offering a unique perspective on finding meaning in life.

Auch wenn Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) zeit seines Lebens als Misanthrop galt, waren seine "Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit" 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.

In this illuminating work, Schopenhauer reveals his core thesis at the heart of our reality lies an insatiable Will perpetually seeking fulfillment. Each individual perceives the world through the prism of this fundamental Will within. However, the distractions of daily life and our unique identities often obscure this deeper truth. To truly understand existence, one must navigate beyond the principium individuationis, trapped by the cause-and-effect constraints of the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Schopenhauer posits that Art uniquely unveils the Thing-In-Itself—an ideal unbound by ...

Comment expliquer le succès tardif mais réel, le retentissement subit de la philosophie de Schopenhauer ? C'est qu'il est possédé de la folie de son temps, cette folie que l'on a si justement appelée la maladie du pessimisme, ou encore la maladie du siècle, der Weltschmerz, la douleur du monde, cette folie qui compte tant de victimes, de Werther à René, de Childe-Harold à Rolla, et d'illustres malades : Byron, Musset, Henri Heine, rieurs attristés, viveurs blasés, sceptiques nuageux, révoltés lyriques qui adorent la vie et la maudissent. Schopenhauer est le théoricien de cette école de poètes.

You've been here before. You make a solid point, logically sound, only to watch the conversation get hijacked. Suddenly, you're defending against a ridiculous exaggeration, a personal jab, or clever-sounding nonsense that has nothing to do with what you said. You get frustrated, derailed, and defeated—even though you know you're correct. You know you're right—so why do you keep losing the argument?

In seinem Versuch über das Geistersehn und was damit zusammenhängt widmet er sich einem der rätselhaftesten Themen der Menschheitsgeschichte: Spuk, Visionen und sogenannte Geistererscheinungen. Dabei nähert er sich dem Stoff nicht esoterisch, sondern mit scharfem Verstand, erkenntnistheoretischer Tiefe und metaphysischer Konsequenz. Dieses Werk verbindet Philosophie, Psychologie und Grenzerfahrungen – ein faszinierender Text zwischen Aufklärung und metaphysischer Spekulation.

In Die Kunst Recht zu behalten untersucht Arthur Schopenhauer auf scharfsinnige Weise die Techniken, mit denen Menschen in Diskussionen und Debatten versuchen, zu siegen – unabhängig davon, ob sie im Recht sind oder nicht. In 38 kunstvoll formulierten Kunstgriffen entlarvt Schopenhauer die Mechanismen rhetorischer Tricks und manipulativer Argumentationsmuster.

In this enlightening exploration, Schopenhauer introduces the concept of will, a term that embodies humanitys deepest impulses—desire, striving, wanting, effort, and urging. His philosophy reveals that all of nature, including human existence, is driven by an unquenchable will to life, which paradoxically leads to our suffering. The relentless pursuit of more is the root of this pain. Schopenhauer also delves into the notion of representation (Vorstellung), referring to the mental images we form of objects perceived as separate from our minds. This includes our own bodies, which he termed ...

In this profound work, Schopenhauer explores the core notion that beneath our perceived reality lies an insatiable Will, eternally striving for satisfaction. Each human Subject interprets the Objects around them through the lens of this driving force, yet the complexities of life and individual differences often obscure our understanding of it. To truly grasp the essence of the Thing-In-Itself, we must look beyond the ‘principium individuationis’—a concept trapped within the cause-and-effect constraints of the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Art serves as a transformative medium, ...

In this profound exploration, Schopenhauer delves into his central thesis that beneath the reality we perceive lies an insatiable Will, eternally striving for satisfaction. Each human observer interacts with the world through this intrinsic Will, often blinded by the distractions of life and the superficial differences that obscure its essence. To truly grasp the underlying reality—the Thing-In-Itself—one must look beyond the principium individuationis, which is caught in the relentless cycle of cause and effect defined by the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Art serves as a powerful medium...

Dans ces pensées, maximes et fragments, Arthur Schopenhauer condense sa philosophie en éclairs. À la manière des moralistes, il taille des aphorismes d’une clarté tranchante et d’une ironie sombre, où se réfléchissent la condition humaine, le désir et ses illusions, la souffrance, la quête d’un bonheur fragile, l’art et la sagesse pratique. Écrit au XIXe siècle, ce recueil offre un chemin bref et acéré dans une pensée devenue classique.

In Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit entfaltet Arthur Schopenhauer seine praktische Philosophie: Wie kann der Mensch sein Leben möglichst glücklich, selbstbestimmt und sinnvoll gestalten – jenseits von Illusionen, Selbsttäuschung und äußeren Zwängen? In scharfsinnigen Betrachtungen und zugespitzten Einsichten entwirft Schopenhauer ein philosophisches Kompendium der Lebensführung – klar, pointiert und bis heute inspirierend.

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.

"Filozofia miłości płciowej" autorstwa Arthura Schopenhauera to rozprawa, w której przedstawia on swoją filozoficzną teorię miłości płciowej. Zdaniem niemieckiego myśliciela jest ona wynikiem silnej woli do życia, objawiającej się w pragnieniu doskonalenia i kontynuowania gatunku ludzkiego poprzez rozmnażanie się. To jeden z nielicznych utworów filozoficznych, które w tak bezceremonialny sposób odnoszą się do analizowanego zagadnienia. Mimo upływu lat publikacja Schopenhauera zmusza do przemyślenia na nowo spraw uważanych za oczywiste, zaskakuje, a momentami wręcz szokuje.
