In this thought-provoking anthology, Schopenhauer delves into the depths of pessimism, challenging conventional notions of optimism and presenting a philosophical exploration of the human condition.

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.
