Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 1860) was one of the most original and
provocative thinkers of the nineteenth century. He spent a lifetime
striving to understand the meaning of living in a world where
suffering and death are ubiquitous. In his quest to solve the
ever-disquieting riddle of existence, Schopenhauer explored almost
every dimension of human existence, developing a darkly compelling
worldview that found deep resonance in contemporary literature,
music, philosophy, and psychology. This is the first comprehensive
biography of Schopenhauer written in English. Placing him in his
historical and philosophical contexts, David E. Cartwright tells
the story of Schopenhauer s life to convey the full range of his
philosophy. He offers a fully documented portrait in which he
explores Schopenhauer s fractured family life, his early formative
influences, his critical loyalty to Kant, his personal interactions
with Fichte and Goethe, his ambivalent relationship with Schelling,
his contempt for Hegel, his struggle to make his philosophy known,
and his reaction to his late-arriving fame. The Schopenhauer who
emerges in this biography is the complex author of a philosophy
that had a significant influence on figures as diverse as Samuel
Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges, Emile Durkheim, Sigmund Freud, Thomas
Hardy, Thomas Mann, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Ludwig Wittgenstein."
