About this audiobook
Schopenhauer: here's when great philosophy can be somber, pessimistic, even brutal, and still resonate with a sarcastic laugh. He was among the first to contend that the universe is essentially not a rational place; in his most famous work, The World as Will and Representation, he argues that the individuals of a species do not have as much free will as is ordinarily thought, as the only Will that matters is that of the species, which is to reproduce and carry on.
Schopenhauer is very well-known for his radical stance on women, aesthetics, and rhetoric; he is the author of The Art of Being Right, a playful manual designed to utterly crush one's opponent in verbal battle, and of the Metaphysics of the Love of the Sexes, a hilarious application of the theories developed in the World as Will and Representation.
We have selected for you 100 of the most powerful quotes written by this somber and playful figure, for you to enjoy his scathing style, profound wisdom, and near-Eastern philosophy.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Nació en Danzig en 1788. Hijo de un próspero comerciante, la muerte prematura de su padre le liberó de dedicarse a la actividad comercial y le procuró un patrimonio que le permitió vivir de las rentas, pudiéndose consagrar de lleno a la filosofía. Fue un hombre solitario y metódico, de carácter irascible y de una acentuada misoginia. Enemigo personal y filosófico de Hegel, despreció siempre el idealismo alemán y se consideró a sí mismo como el verdadero continuador de Kant, en cuya filosofía encontró la clave para su metafísica de la voluntad. Su pensamiento no conoció la fama hasta pocos años después de su muerte, acaecida en Fráncfort en 1860. En esta misma Editorial han sido publicadas sus obras Metafísica de las costumbres (2001), El mundo como voluntad y representación I (4.ª ed., 2022) y II (5.ª ed., 2022), Parerga y paralipómena I (5.ª ed.,2023) y II (4.ª ed., 2023), Dialéctica erística, o El arte de tener razón en 38 artimañanas (2023), Diarios de viaje. Los Diarios de viaje de los años 1800 y 1803-1804 (2012) y Sobre la visión y los colores (2.ª ed., 2024).
