Bøger af Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) er en af de mest indflydelsesrige tænkere i europæisk ånds- og kulturliv, og hans Aforismer om Livsvisdom kan uden betænkning betegnes som et litterært mesterværk.Bogen er oversat af dr.phil. Martin Pasgaard-Westerman, som endvidere har skrevet et fyldigt efterskrift. Bogen tager sit udgangspunkt i det klassiske spørgsmål om muligheden for et godt eller lykkeligt liv (eudaimonia) og giver efter klassisk forbillede (Aristoteles, epikuræisme, stoicisme) en række livs- eller verdensklogskabsregler. Aforismerne består af to dele og et tillæg. Den første del omhandler betingelserne for muligheden for et lykkeligt liv med særlig fokus på ens individuelle karakter (åndelige egenskaber), ydre goder (besiddelse) samt ydre anerkendelse (rang, ry, ære). Anden del opstiller en række almene betingelser og almene forholdsregler i ens forhold til en selv, til andre og til verdens gang. Endelig giver Schopenhauer i et tillæg en beskrivelse af de forskellige aldre eller livsfaser. Aforismer om Livsvisdom indgår som et selvstændigt essay i Schopenhauers store senværk Parerga og Paralipomena [biværker og tiloversblevet]. Parerga og Paralipomena er Schopenhauers andet hovedværk og nok det mest indflydelsesrige. Ved udgivelsen i 1851 blev Schopenhauer med et slag verdensberømt både for sit dybtgående og vidtspændende filosofiske system og for sin uovertrufne litterære stil, der sammen med hans berygtede pessimistiske livssyn er blevet hans særlige kendetegn.Det er en stor glæde at kunne præsentere Aforismer om Livsvisdom som første bind af fire planlagte, der skal blive til den første komplette udgave af Schopenhauers Parerga og Paralipomena på dansk.

One of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Schopenhauer (1788-1860) believed that human action is determined not by reason but by 'will' - the blind and irrational desire for physical existence. This selection of his writings on religion, ethics, politics, women, suicide, books and many other themes is taken from Schopenhauer's last work, Parerga and Paralipomena, which he published in 1851. These pieces depict humanity as locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, and each individual absolutely free within a Godless world, in which art, morality and self-awareness are our only salvation. This innovative - and pessimistic - view has proved powerfully influential upon philosophy and art, directly affecting the work of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Wagner among others.

Arthur Schopenhauer's Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung is one of the most important philosophical works of the nineteenth century, the basic statement of one important stream of post-Kantian thought. It is without question Schopenhauer's greatest work. Conceived and published before the philosopher was 30 and expanded 25 years later, it is the summation of a lifetime of thought.For 70 years, the only unabridged English translation of this work was the Haldane-Kemp collaboration. In 1958, a new translation by E. F. J. Payne appeared that decisively supplanted the older one. Payne's translation is superior because it corrects nearly 1,000 errors and omissions in the Haldane-Kemp translation, and it is based on the definitive 1937 German edition of Schopenhauer's work prepared by Dr. Arthur Hübscher. Payne's edition is the first to translate into English the text's many quotations in half a dozen languages. It is thus the most useful edition for the student or teacher.

In this essay from Schopenhauer final work, "Parerga und Paralipomena" (1851), the philosopher favors individual strength of will and independent, reasoned deliberation over the tendency to act on irrational impulses. He examines the ways in which life can be arranged to derive the highest degree of pleasure and success.

Controversial Dialectic is the art of disputing, and of disputing in such a way as to hold one's own, whether one is in the right or the wrong - per fas et nefas. A man may be objectively in the right, and nevertheless in the eyes of bystanders, and sometimes in his own, he may come off worst. For example, I may advance a proof of some assertion, and my adversary may refute the proof, and thus appear to have refuted the assertion, for which there may, nevertheless, be other proofs. In this case, of course, my adversary and I change places: he comes off best, although, as a matter of fact, he is in the wrong.

A fascinating examination of ethics, religion and psychology, this selection of Schopenhauer's works contains scathing attack on the nature and logic of religion, and an essay on ethics that ranges from the American slavery debate to the vices of Buddhism. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Schopenhauer's two essays On the Freedom of the Will and On the Basis of Morals form his complete system of ethics. Their doctrines are here presented in more accessible, self-contained form than in his larger work, and in a new translation, introduced by Christopher Janaway, that preserves Schopenhauer's style in modern English.

"Uvidenhed degraderer først mennesket, hvor den optræder i selskab med rigdom. Den fattige ligger under for armod og nød; hos ham er det arbejdspræstationerne, som erstatter ham viden og beskæftiger hans tanker. De rige derimod, som er uvidende, lever kun for deres lyster og ligner kvæg; noget man dagligt ser. Og hertil kan endnu føjes den bebrejdelse, at man ikke har gjort brug af sin rigdom og sine ledige stunder til det, der forlener dem med deres allerstørste værd.""Om bøger og læsning" består af en række mindre tekster af den anerkendte filosof Arthur Schopenhauer udvalgt og oversat af Ingeborg Buhl. Bogen er delt op i små tekstbidder og giver således et overskueligt overblik over samt et spændende indblik i Schopenhauers filosofi.Den tyske filosof Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) er kendt som hovedfiguren inden for den filosofiske retning pessimisme. Schopenhauer var i høj grad påvirket af buddhisme og Immanuel Kants filosofi, og hans egen filosofi er både et modsvar til og en udvidelse af Kants erkendelsesfilosof. "Verden som vilje og forestilling" (1818) er Schopenhauers mest kendte værk, og hans tanker har påvirket store tænkere, kunstnere og forfattere som Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Lev Tolstoj, Thomas Mann og Ludwig Wittgenstein.

”Vi er ganske vist alle sammen født i Arkadien, som Schiller siger, det vil sige vi træder ud i verden fulde af krav på lykke og nydelser og nærer det tåbelige håb at kunne sætte disse krav igennem. Men i reglen kommer snart skæbnen og tager ublidt fat på os og belærer os om, at intet er vort, men alt er dens, idet den har en ubestridelig ret ikke blot til al vor ejendom og erhverv og kone og børn, men endog til arme og ben, øjne og øren, ja, til næsen midt i ansigtet.”Pessimismens fader, Arthur Schopenhauer, bringer en lang række spændende observationer om, hvordan livet er skruet sammen, og hvordan man får det bedste ud af det. Undervejs i bogen drager han store filosoffer og tænkere som Platon, Salomon, Friedrich Schiller og Aristoteles ind i sine tanker og skiftevis understreger og modsvarer deres holdningspunkter.”Livsførelse” udkom første gang på dansk i 1921.Den tyske filosof Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) er kendt som hovedfiguren inden for den filosofiske retning pessimisme.

De façon à la fois sarcastique et pragmatique, c'est-à-dire ne prenant en compte que les résultats, Schopenhauer y expose une série de stratagèmes permettant de l'emporter lors de controverses, indépendamment de la vérité du point de vue que l'on soutient. Ce travail qu'il considère comme le premier essai d'une dialectique scientifique n'ayant pas d'équivalent à son époque a aussi pour but de bien distinguer ces stratagèmes afin de pouvoir les dénoncer.La dialectique éristique, constituée de la dialectique et de la sophistique, s'opposerait ainsi à la logique, à l'analytique, et à la philosophie dont le but est la recherche objective de la vérité.

"The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer" is a set of the deep highbrow thoughts of Arthur Schopenhauer, a German who have become searching out the reality. This collection of essays on a massive kind of subjects gives a complete image of Schopenhauer's particular philosophical view of the world. Schopenhauer's essays, which got here out in the middle of the 1800s, are about the character of human life, the complexity of unfastened will, and the search for a profitable life. Friedrich Schopenhauer's perception is a combination of pessimism and thoughts from the East. He appears at how options affect people and how human beings are constantly looking to get what they want, announcing that ache is actually associated with having dreams which you cannot satisfy. The quantities smash down the complicated additives of artwork, splendor, and a contemplative manner of lifestyles as possible strategies to get past the problems of regular life. In addition to thinking about the that means of life, Schopenhauer also thinks approximately ethics, thinking social norms and pushing for kindness and sensitivity. His essays question commonplace ideals and present a completely new manner of looking at humans's lives. Even though Schopenhauer's paintings may be sad at times, it's far marked through highbrow rigor and a deep know-how of the human thoughts. The collection is still an important a part of existential belief and has an impact on the manner human beings expect these days and inside the destiny.
