About This Novel

Schopenhauer (1788-1860), a German philosopher, the main interpreter of pessimism and irrational impulses, a pioneer of later life philosophy and existential philosophy, an opponent of Hegel's absolute idealism, and claimed to be the sole heir of Kant. It describes the Dante-like world view of suffering in a beautiful style, using "art" as the only "short-term savior" to get rid of the shackles of will. He is cynical due to being ignored by his contemporaries, but he firmly believes that the truth he represents will win in the end. It was not until a few years before his death that his philosophy was valued by the world. This book collects his famous prose works, including "Thinking About Myself", "On Writing and Style", "On Erudition and Scholars", "On Reading and Books", "On Genius", "On Education", "Similes, Similes and Fables", "On the Principle of Ridiculousness", "On History", etc.
