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.

"The Wisdom of Life" is one of Arthur Schopenhauer's works, originally published in 1851 as part of his collection "Parerga and Paralipomena." In this work, Schopenhauer presents a series of aphorisms and brief reflections on achieving a wiser and more satisfying life. He discusses topics such as the pursuit of happiness, the nature of human suffering, the importance of self-understanding, and the art of living wisely in the face of life's adversities. Schopenhauer's aphorisms in "Aphorisms for the Wisdom of Life" reflect his philosophical outlook, deeply influenced by metaphysical pessimism. He argues that the world is fundamentally a place of pain and frustration but suggests that through understanding our own desires and limitations, we can find a path to resignation and contentment. This work is considered a practical and accessible exploration of his broader philosophical ideas, aimed not only at scholars but also at the general public interested in existential and ethical issues.

First proposed more than 200 years ago, Schopenhauer's extraordinarily prescient metaphysics if understood along the lines thoroughly elucidated and substantiated in this volume offers powerful answers not only to the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, but also to modern philosophical dilemmas such as the hard problem of consciousness which plagues mainstream physicalism, and the subject combination problem which plagues constitutive panpsychism. This invaluable treasure of the Western philosophical canon has eluded us so far because Schopenhauer’s argument has been consistently misunderstood and misrepresented, even at the hands of presumed experts. Hoping to change this situation, Decoding Schopenhauer’s Metaphysics, offers a conceptual framework, a decoding key for unlocking the sense of Schopenhauer’s metaphysical contentions in a way that renders them mutually consistent. With this key in mind, even those who earlier dismissed Schopenhauer’s metaphysics should be able to return to it with fresh eyes and at last grasp its meaning. And for those as yet unacquainted with Schopenhauerian thought, this volume offers a succinct and accessible entry path.
