Arthur Schopenhauer made the momentous decision to become a
philosopher when he was approximately 22 years old. Prior to that
decision, he had been studying medicine at the university in
Goettingen. By that age, however, he had concluded that life was a
troublesome affair. So he resolved to spend his life reflecting
upon it. Schopenhauer was doggedly determined to persevere in what
he considered his mission in life, to reflect on the
"ever-disquieting puzzle of existence," to ascertain the meaning of
living in a world steeped in suffering and death. He was confident
that eventually his work would be recognized, a confidence that
enabled him to weather laboring in relative philosophical obscurity
for some forty years. What initiated the dawn of Schopenhauer's
fame was a review of his philosophy that appeared in a British
journal in 1853, and ever since that time, Schopenhauer drew a
readership, one broader than most Western philosophers. He is read
not simply and solely by professional philosophers, but also by the
wider learned world. Indeed, some have claimed that he is the most
widely read Western philosopher. This second edition of Historical
Dictionary of Schopenhauer's Philosophy contains a chronology, an
introduction, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The
dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on all of
Schopenhauer's books, significant philosophical ideas and concepts,
as well as entries covering significant figures in his life and
those influenced by this thinking.. This book is an excellent
access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know
more about Arthur Schopenhauer.
