Description

Can a subjective view of some object be interesting to a very wide circle of people for centuries? Undoubtedly, if we’re talking about the perspective of the outstanding German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer on a key problem of philosophy—human place in the world. Rather gloomy and sharp with irony, Schopenhauer, who rejected illusions, analyzes human existence quite pessimistically, and from the same viewpoint, he also considers the opinions of his famous predecessors in works on the history of philosophy. Yet a critical gaze is valuable because it gives an opportunity to assess the dark sides of human nature—and to look at the bright sides anew.
