Together they present Schopenhauer as philosopher, moralist, literary critic, psychologist, and fierce observer of human vanity, ambition, suffering, belief, argument, art, and self-deception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these essays, Schopenhauer writes with unusual directness on conduct, character, reputation, religion, education, authorship, reading, rhetoric, happiness, pessimism, and the limits of human reason. His thought is severe but bracing: sceptical of easy consolation, suspicious of intellectual fashion, and relentlessly attentive to the motives beneath civilised behaviour. This substantial collection offers one of the most accessible entrances into Schopenhauer's philosophy, bringing together the aphoristic brilliance and dark clarity that made him a lasting influence on modern philosophy, literature, psychology, and existential thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 464\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.03 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 08, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45709471481939,"sku":"9781604595741","price":49.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9731\/2595\/files\/XyawE1THJD9781604595741.webp?v=1783885065","url":"https:\/\/the-stone-owl-bookstore.myshopify.com\/products\/collected-essays-of-arthur-schopenhauer-paperback","provider":"The Stone Owl Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
