The Wisdom of Life by Arthur Schopenhauer

The Wisdom of Life is a philosophical essay from Arthur Schopenhauer's final work, Parerga und Paralipomena (1851). This accessible work examines how to arrange life to achieve the highest degree of pleasure and success through individual strength of will and independent, reasoned deliberation.

What This Philosophy Book Covers

Schopenhauer favors rational thought over irrational impulses, presenting practical guidelines for achieving a full and rich manner of living. The essay explores timeless subjects including personal fulfillment, ethical decision-making, and the continuous pursuit of self-improvement. Even a well-lived life, Schopenhauer argues, must always aspire to grander heights.

About Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a German philosopher best known for The World as Will and Representation (1818).

About the Author
Schopenhauer, Arthur: - "Arthur Schopenhauer (22 February 1788 - 21 September 1860) was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation (expanded in 1844), which characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind noumenal will. He was among the first thinkers in Western philosophy to share and affirm significant tenets of Indian philosophy, such as asceticism, denial of the self, and the notion of the world-as-appearance. His work has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism."
