This book was released on 2019-07-13 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Schopenhauer (22 February 1788 – 21 September 1860) was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation, in which he argues that the phenomenal world is driven by a metaphysical will that perpetually and malignantly seeks satiation. He also wrote influentially on aesthetics, ethics, and religion.Transcendental idealism formed the basis for much of his thought, and his atheistic philosophy has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism. Finding his philosophical conclusions to be compatible with those of much Eastern philosophy, his solutions to the problems of existence and suffering were consequently similar to those of Vedantic and Buddhist thinkers. Schopenhauer's influence has proven profound across various disciplines; those who have cited his influence include Friedrich Nietzsche, Richard Wagner, Leo Tolstoy, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Erwin Schrödinger, Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, Otto Rank, Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Thomas Mann, and Jorge Luis Borges, among others.

Book excerpt: "The Art of Literature" is a collection of essays and reflections on literature written by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, originally published as part of his larger work "Parerga and Paralipomena" in 1851. In this book, Schopenhauer delves into various aspects of literature, offering insights into its nature, purpose, and significance. One of the central themes of "The Art of Literature" is Schopenhauer's view of literature as a reflection of the human condition. He argues that literature serves as a mirror to the inner workings of the human mind and soul, providing insights into the universal themes of love, suffering, and the quest for meaning. Schopenhauer draws upon examples from classic literature to illustrate his points, analyzing works by authors such as Shakespeare, Goethe, and Cervantes. Schopenhauer also explores the role of the writer in society, emphasizing the importance of artistic integrity and authenticity. He criticizes the tendency towards superficiality and commercialism in literature, advocating for a more profound and sincere approach to creative expression. According to Schopenhauer, true art arises from a deep understanding of the human condition and a genuine desire to communicate profound truths to others. Furthermore, "The Art of Literature" reflects Schopenhauer's broader philosophical outlook, particularly his ideas about the nature of reality and the will. He argues that literature has the power to transcend the limitations of individual experience and connect us to deeper layers of existence. Through the act of reading, Schopenhauer suggests, we can gain insight into the universal aspects of human existence and find solace in the face of life's inherent challenges. Overall, "The Art of Literature" is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of literature in human culture and society, written by one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. Schopenhauer's insights continue to resonate with readers today, offering a deeper understanding of the enduring power and significance of literature in our lives.

Book excerpt: The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer is best known for his 1818 work ‘The World as Will and Idea’, which characterises the phenomenal world as the product of a blind and insatiable metaphysical will. Proceeding from the transcendental idealism of Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that is viewed by many as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism.

Book excerpt: The contents of this, as of the other volumes in the series, have been drawn from Schopenhauer's Parerga, and amongst the various subjects dealt with in that famous collection of essays, Literature holds an important place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great pessimist who believed in the best and expected the worst from writers here applies his caustic wit to literature and the literary scene. Schopenhauer's piercing analyses of style, critics, literary values, learning, and genius make this volume a handbook on writing ? illuminated by the author's own shining, powerful style. The best way to discover the finest qualities of style and to form a theory of writing, he advises, is not to follow a trendy mannerism, but to study the ways in which great authors executed their best work. Schopenhauer provides excellent examples for aspiring writers in this collection of essays from his celebrated work Parerga. Translated by T. Bailey Saunders.

The contents of this, as of the other volumes in the series, have been drawn from Schopenhauer's Parerga, and amongst the various subjects dealt with in that famous collection of essays, Literature holds an important place. Nor can Schopenhauer's opinions fail to be of special value when he treats of literary form and method. For, quite apart from his philosophical pretensions, he claims recognition as a great writer; he is, indeed, one of the best of the few really excellent prose-writers of whom Germany can boast. While he is thus particularly qualified to speak of Literature as an Art, he has also something to say upon those influences which, outside of his own merits, contribute so much to an author's success, and are so often undervalued when he obtains immediate popularity. Schopenhauer's own sore experiences in the matter of reputation lend an interest to his remarks upon that subject, although it is too much to ask of human nature that he should approach it in any dispassionate spirit. In the following pages we have observations upon style by one who was a stylist in the best sense of the word, not affected, nor yet a phrase-monger; on thinking for oneself by a philosopher who never did anything else; on criticism by a writer who suffered much from the inability of others to understand him; on reputation by a candidate who, during the greater part of his life, deserved without obtaining it; and on genius by one who was incontestably of the privileged order himself. And whatever may be thought of some of his opinions on matters of detail-on anonymity, for instance, or on the question whether good work is never done for money-there can be no doubt that his general view of literature, and the conditions under which it flourishes, is perfectly sound. It might be thought, perhaps, that remarks which were meant to apply to the German language would have but little bearing upon one so different from it as English. This would be a just objection if Schopenhauer treated literature in a petty spirit, and confined himself to pedantic inquiries into matters of grammar and etymology, or mere niceties of phrase. But this is not so. He deals with his subject broadly, and takes large and general views; nor can anyone who knows anything of the philosopher suppose this to mean that he is vague and feeble. It is true that now and again in the course of these essays he makes remarks which are obviously meant to apply to the failings of certain writers of his own age and country; but in such a case I have generally given his sentences a turn, which, while keeping them faithful to the spirit of the original, secures for them a less restricted range, and makes Schopenhauer a critic of similar faults in whatever age or country they may appear. This has been done in spite of a sharp word on page 8 of this volume, addressed to translators who dare to revise their author; but the change is one with which not even Schopenhauer could quarrel....
