ARTHUR SHOPENHAUER (22 February 1788 – 21 September 1860) is a great philosopher,
often called “philosopher of pessimism”, who was primarily important as the exponent
of a metaphysical doctrine of the will in immediate reaction against Hegelian idealism.
His writings influenced later existential philosophy and Freudian psychology.
"Studies in pessimism" is a series of philosophical essays where Schopenhauer offers
his thoughts on "the sufferings of the world," why evil is positive, on "the vanity of existence",
on suicide as a will to live, on women, and more.
