Description

"On Human Nature" by Arthur Schopenhauer is a profound exploration of the fundamental aspects of human existence and the complex nature of our being. In this insightful work, Schopenhauer delves into the depths of human nature, offering profound insights into our desires, motivations, and the intricate interplay between reason and instinct. Drawing upon his keen observations and deep philosophical inquiry, Schopenhauer analyzes the inherent contradictions and tensions within human nature. He scrutinizes the complex dynamics between the rational mind and the irrational forces that drive our behavior, shedding light on the inner workings of human psychology and the often-conflicting aspects of our character. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) wrote The World as Will and Representation, a philosophy of desire, suffering, and art that later shaped Nietzsche, Wagner, and a long modern melancholy. He argued that will is the inner fact of the world, and that music and compassion are among the few exits. With 19 titles in our catalogue, Schopenhauer remains the metaphysician who made pessimism feel like clear seeing.
