Schopenhauer was just 30 when his magnum opus, Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, a work of considerable learning and innovation of thought, first appeared in 1818.

Much to his chagrin and puzzlement (so convinced was he of its merits), it didn't have an immediate effect on European philosophy, views and culture. It was only decades later that it was recognised as one of the major intellectual landmarks of the 19th century.

'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.' Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century because his humanistic, atheistic, if pessimistic views chimed with a new secularism that was emerging from a Western society dominated by religion. Despite his rather forbidding image (and a few outdated views), he is one of the most approachable German philosophers, and this is certainly evident in these two key works, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims.

The World as Will and Idea by Arthur Schopenhauer presents his philosophy that reality is driven by a metaphysical will, influencing all aspects of life and existence. Schopenhauer, a German philosopher, is known for his pessimistic philosophy, emphasizing that desire causes suffering. This work has profoundly influenced both philosophical thought and literature.

A classic guide to tricks and tactics for winning arguments, with commentary on the use of and defense against each tactic. The best summary of this audiobook is "being right doesn’t mean you’re gonna win, and this is why". It’s the ultimate guide to spotting the many different kinds of bull people pull in order to win over the crowd, rather than argue the point at hand. There’s very few of them that don’t immediately bring examples to mind, and having it laid out clearly like this is the perfect armour to stop people derailing you.

Arthur Schopenhauer's "The Wisdom of Life" is a compelling exploration into the nature of happiness and fulfillment. Written by a renowned 19th-century philosopher, this work delves into human desires and motivations, offering a unique perspective on finding meaning in life.

There is a cause, or a reason, behind everything that happens. This is the fundamental view behind the classical proposition the Principle of Sufficient Reason, which, in 1813, Schopenhauer chose as his subject for further examination in his doctoral dissertation On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason....

"The Art of Controversy or The Art of Being Right" is an acidulous, sarcastic treatise written by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In it, Schopenhauer examines a total of thirty-eight methods of showing up one's opponent in a debate. He introduces his essay with the idea that philosophers have concentrated in ample measure on the rules of logic, but have not engaged with the darker art of the dialectic, of controversy.

The original edition of The World as Will and Idea appeared in 1818, but in 1844 Schopenhauer published an expanded version. It contained the 'Criticism of the Kantian Philosophy', a lengthy document; and Supplements to the First Book ( The Doctrine of the Idea of Perception) and the Second Book ( The Doctrine of Perception or Knowledge of the Understanding).

The essays in The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics have a rather special place in Schopenhauer’s work, both being written as entries to Scandinavian philosophy competitions, one in Norway and one in Sweden.

El arte del buen vivir, como manifiesta expresamente su autor, Arthur Schopenhauer uno de los más grandes e influyentes filósofos del siglo XIX, procura dar lección sobre el modo de tener una vida lo más genuina y feliz posible, una de las aspiraciones humanas primigenias y anterior a cualquier meditación filosófica o en torno a ella, pero cuyo logro resulta realmente arduo para aquellos que desean prescindir de toda reflexión y pauta para alcanzar el tan codiciado objetivo.

Auch wenn Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) zeit seines Lebens als Misanthrop galt, waren seine Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit (Track 1-11) dennoch ein veritabler Bestseller. Wie führe ich das Leben möglichst angenehm und glücklich? Diese simplen und doch hochkomplexen Fragen beantwortet Schopenhauer in seinem überaus erfolgreichen und noch heute beliebten Werk. Weiterhin in dieser Box vertreten: Versuch über das Geistersehn (Track 12-16) sowie sein postum veröffentlichtes Werk Über die Kunst Recht zu behalten (Track 17-18).

Schopenhauer is considered to be the most accessible of German philosophers. This book gives a succinct explanation of his metaphysical system, concentrating on the original aspects of his thought, which inspired many artists and thinkers including Nietzsche, Wagner, Freud, and Wittgenstein. Schopenhauer's central notion is that of the will-a blind, irrational force that he uses to interpret both the human mind and the whole of nature.

Mit ebenso großer Klarheit und Eleganz wie im 1. Band seines Hauptwerks setzt Arthur Schopenhauer auch im 2. Band von "Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung" seine pessimistisch-voluntaristische Metaphysik des Lebens fort, wobei er, direkt Bezug nehmend auf Paragrafen des 1. Bandes, zentrale Gedanken seiner Philosophie weiter vertieft und um mehr als nur perspektivische Facetten bereichert. So finden sich in den hier vorliegenden "Ergänzungen zum dritten Buch des 1. Bandes" vertiefende Darstellungen zur Erkenntnis der Idee wie auch Bemerkungen zum inneren Wesen der Kunst.

El arte de tratar a las mujeres, ha sido probablemente el libro más polémico de Arthur Schopenhauer. En esta oportunidad Arthur hace un análisis de la mujer, comparando su desempeño con el ofrecido por el hombre. Este libro no permite comprender el pensamiento del hombre europeo de antaño y realizar una comparativa con los tiempos actuales. ¿Existirá alguna diferencia? Lo dejamos a su criterio.

In this final part to Schopenhauer's momentous and hugely influential work, his original and wide-ranging observations are as lively as ever. Though cast as a 'pessimist' by history, he is anything but that to read - and listen to. Here are the last supplementary comments his original work (published 1818), the fruit of decades of further reflection.

Each generation of therapists can boast of only a few writers like Deborah Luepnitz, whose sympathy and wit shine in her fine, luminous prose. In Schopenhauer's Porcupines, she recounts five true stories from her practice, stories of patients who range from the super-rich to the destitute, who grapple with panic attacks, psychosomatic illness, marital despair, and sexual recklessness. Intimate, original, and triumphantly funny, Schopenhauer's Porcupines goes further than any other book in illuminating "how talking helps".

In seinem philosophischen Hauptwerk Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung verwirft Arthur Schopenhauer jede Form von Glücklehre und entwickelt aus einem einzigen genialen Gedanken heraus eine denkbar pessimistische Sicht auf das Dasein als solches und eine Lehre von der Verneinung des Willens zum Leben. Kaum an einer anderen Stelle in seinem Werk spricht er dies so klar und so ausführlich aus wie in den hier zu hörenden Ergänzungen zum vierten Buch des 1. Bandes seines Hauptwerks.

Es famoso el pesimismo de Schopenhauer, pero también su intachable honestidad. Para él, la filosofía tenía un fin específico: evitar que el ser humano le tema a la muerte. Estos Ensayos selectos agrupan los temas y territorios que más le interesaron: conocimiento, muerte, destino, arte.

El arte de discutir, pero discutir de tal manera que se tenga razón tanto lícita como ilícitamente, por fas y por nefas. Puede tenerse ciertamente razón objetiva en un asunto y, sin embargo, a ojos de los presentes y algunas veces también a los de uno mismo, parecer falto de ella. En este audiolibro el oyente podrá hallar un recetario, desde la filosofía y el pensamiento de uno de los más grandes pensadores de Occidente, del difícil arte de convencer al otro y encontrar los argumentos válidos para ello.
