Download or read book Death Contemplation and Schopenhauer written by R. Raj Singh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connections between death, contemplation and the contemplative life have been a recurrent theme in the canons of both western and eastern philosophical thought. This book examines the classical sources of this philosophical literature, in particular Plato's Phaedo and the Katha Upanishad and then proceeds to a sustained analysis and critical assessment of the sources and standpoints of a single thinker, Arthur Schopenhauer, whose work comprehensively pursues this problem. Going beyond the well examined western influences on Schopenhauer, Singh offers an in-depth account of Schopenhauer's references to eastern thought and a comprehensive examination of his eastern sources, particularly Vedanta and Buddhism. The book traces the pivotal issue of death through the whole range of Schopenhauer's writings uncovering the deeper connotations of his crucial notion of the will-to-live.

Download or read book Attempt on Spirit Seeing and What is Connected with It written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation from the original German manuscript, with a new Afterword by the Translator. Schopenhauer's "Attempt on Spirit-Seeing and What is Connected with It" delves into the realms of spiritual phenomena and extrasensory perception in response to Kant's "Dreams of a Ghost-Seer". In this work, Schopenhauer analyzes claims of spiritual experiences, such as visions and apparitions, with a critical eye. He examines the human tendency to believe in supernatural occurrences and delves into the psychology behind such beliefs. This work has been a subject of interest for scholars studying the intersection of philosophy and mysticism. Schopenhauer's skepticism towards spirit-seeing and his insistence on empirical evidence have contributed to rational inquiry into paranormal experiences, making this work an essential read for those interested in the intersection of philosophy, psychology, and spirituality. "The whole demonology and spiritology of antiquity and the Middle Ages, as well as their related view of magic, is based on the still unchallenged realism, which was finally shaken by Cartesius. Only the idealism that gradually matured in more recent times leads us to the point of view from which we can reach a correct judgment about all those things, thus also about visions and apparitions of spirits."

Download or read book Suffering Suicide and Immortality written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Arthur Schopenhauer is best known for his writings on pessimism. In this 1851 essay collection, he offers concise statements of the unifying principles of his thinking. Schopenhauer, unlike most philosophers, expressed himself in simple, direct terms. These essays offer an accessible approach to his main thesis, as stated in The World as Will and Representation. Schopenhauer's reasoning encompasses the influence of the Upanishads and Buddhist teachings, as well as the works of Plato and Kant. His philosophy had an enormous impact on contemporary philosophy and literature, and on subsequent thinkers such as Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein. Published toward the end of his life in a collection called Parerga und Paralipomena, these essays include "On the Sufferings of the World," "On the Vanity of Existence," "On Suicide," "Immortality: A Dialogue," "Further Psychological Observations," "On Education," "On Women," and "On Noise," plus "A Few Parables." They remain among Schopenhauer's most popular works, offering insights into his philosophy as a whole as well as the human condition.
Download or read book The World as Will and Representation Part II written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Part 2 of a new 2023 translation of Arthur Schopenhauer's 1819 "Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung" Or "The World as Will and Representation". This work is sometimes translated as "The World as Will and Idea". The first part was published in 1819, with a second version containing additional materials published in 1844. This is Volume III in the Complete Works of Arthur Schopenhauer by Newcomb Livraria Press Schopenhauer enjoys little fame in modern Philosophic studies but was critically influential on some of the biggest names in history- Kafka, Freud, and Nietzsche among them. Like Kant, he is responding English Empiricism, borrowing heavily from Kant but then developing a bizarre new type of Platonism which is deeply pessimistic and pseudo-Buddhist. Schopenhauer's claim that reason is subject to Will is a critical shift that would be expounded upon by Nietzsche, leading to Freud's entire philosophic project. The entire idea of the Unconscious is rooted in Schopenhauer. From the brutality of this existence where we are oppressed and enslaved by the Will, art is the only escape. Here Nietzsche's Art-Philosophy begins to make sense in light of this deification of the experience of Art. Kafka was a reader of Schopenhauer, and one can see this emphasis on suffering being meaningless and inescapable.

Download or read book Essays of Schopenhauer written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Schopenhauer was asked where he wished to be buried, he answered, "Anywhere; they will find me;" and the stone that marks his grave at Frankfort bears merely the inscription "Arthur Schopenhauer," without even the date of his birth or death. Schopenhauer, the pessimist, had a sufficiently optimistic conviction that his message to the world would ultimately be listened to—a conviction that never failed him during a lifetime of disappointments, of neglect in quarters where perhaps he would have most cherished appreciation; a conviction that only showed some signs of being justified a few years before his death. Schopenhauer was no opportunist; he was not even conciliatory; he never hesitated to declare his own faith in himself, in his principles, in his philosophy; he did not ask to be listened to as a matter of courtesy but as a right—a right for which he would struggle, for which he fought, and which has in the course of time, it may be admitted, been conceded to him.

Download or read book The Metaphysics of Night written by Matthew Del Nevo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metaphysics of Night acknowledges a post-secular philosophy, one that puts philosophy into serious dialogue with religion, rather than considering religion a thing of the past. Matthew Del Nevo deals with the cultural unconscious, inseparable from religious consciousness, and draws on psychoanalysis and literature as well as philosophy. The metaphysics of the night is Del Nevo's metaphor for the deep and mysterious expanse of the soul. Philosophically, the book is critical of Enlightenment presumptions about knowledge and truth and overly spiritualizing tendencies in religion. Its critical edge cuts against materialist and historicist tendencies in the humanities and abstract intellectualism in philosophy. Arguing for strong aesthetic values, Del Nevo defends and explains soul and soulful experience, the creation of depth, the ineffable, real presence, beauty, and saving words, noting that the sources of all these are in us, but often are blocked. Each of the five parts of this book testify to what the author notes may be forgotten, but which ought not to be forgotten. It is necessary for life as socially, religiously, and educationally instituted within culture and as constitutive for culture. Del Nevo deals with sensibility as a form of wisdom and instinct that is not cognitive or knowledge/information based. He argues for a shift of emphasis in culture from intellect to intuition. This well-written work, filled with Catholic, philosophic, and artistic thought will be of interest to all philosophers, theologians, and students of culture.
