    Arthur Schopenhauer

    Nació en Danzig en 1788. Hijo de un próspero comerciante, la muerte prematura de su padre le liberó de dedicarse a los negocios 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 cuyo criticismo 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. Schopenhauer ha pasado a la historia como el filósofo pesimista por excelencia. Admirador de Calderón y Gracián, tradujo al alemán el «Oráculo manual» del segundo. Hoy es uno de los clásicos de la filosofía más apreciados y leídos debido a la claridad de su pensamiento. Sus escritos marcaron hitos culturales y continúan influyendo en la actualidad. En esta misma Editorial han sido publicadas sus obras «Metafísica de las costumbres» (2001), «Diarios de viaje. Los Diarios de viaje de los años 1800 y 1803-1804» (2012), «Sobre la visión y los colores seguido de la correspondencia con Johann Wolfgang Goethe» (2013), «Parerga y paralipómena» I (2.ª ed., 2020) y II (2020), «El mundo como voluntad y representación» I (2.ª ed., 2022) y II (3.ª ed., 2022) y «Dialéctica erística o Arte de tener razón en 38 artimañas» (2023).

      Where did they find the rustic narrator! He sounds like he’s reading from a tractor manual. I couldn’t endure it.
    • 5/5
      Good narration; excellent content. One of my favorites philosophy books.
