Arthur Schopenhauer Libros

"El arte de ser feliz es una pequeña joya literaria y un valioso libro de cabecera, que reúne cincuenta reglas para la vida que cualquier persona puede aplicar. Arthur Schopenhauer solía dedicarse a la redacción de pequeños tratados como este, a los que concebía como textos para su uso práctico personal. Gracias a la intensa dedicación a los clásicos griegos y latinos, a los grandes filósofos de todos los tiempos y al estudio de la sabiduría india, llegó a apreciar la filosofía no solo como saber teorético, sino también como forma de vida y ejercicio mental; no solo como conocimiento puro y separado del mundo, sino también como enseñanza práctica y sabiduría para la vida. Pero, Èqué tipo de consejos sobre la felicidad puede brindarnos el filósofo que ha pasado a la historia como maestro del pesimismo? Se trata de encontrar reglas de conducta y de vida que nos ayuden a evitar las penurias y los golpes del destino, con la esperanza de que, si bien la felicidad perfecta es inalcanzable, podamos llegar a esa felicidad relativa que consiste en la ausencia del dolor"--amazon.com.

Las reflexiones de Schopenhauer sobre el amor, la mujer, el matrimonio o el dolor se suelen leer ahora como aforismos edificantes o graciosos. Son en verdad, trágicos e ingratos. Aunque el siglo XX convirtió en moneda corriente este tipo de enunciados a comienzos del siglo XIX, los aforismos de Schopenhauer eran inaudibles e insoportables, y en parte, aún lo son, por cuanto no siempre se atiende a su significado originario.

With the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851, there finally came some measure of the fame that Schopenhauer thought was his due. Described by Schopenhauer himself as 'incomparably more popular than everything up till now', Parerga is a miscellany of essays addressing themes that complement his work The World as Will and Representation, along with more divergent, speculative pieces. It includes essays on method, logic, the intellect, Kant, pantheism, natural science, religion, education, and language. The present volume offers a new translation, a substantial introduction explaining the context of the essays, and extensive editorial notes on the different published versions of the work. This readable and scholarly edition will be an essential reference for those studying Schopenhauer, the history of philosophy, and nineteenth-century German philosophy.
