Counsels And Maxims (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162658544)

""Counsels and Maxims"" is a collection of philosophical reflections and aphorisms by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. The book is divided into several sections, each containing a series of short, pithy observations on various topics such as human nature, morality, and the meaning of life. Schopenhauer's writing is characterized by its clarity, wit, and incisiveness, and his observations are often both profound and provocative. Throughout the book, Schopenhauer emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, self-discipline, and the cultivation of inner strength and resilience in the face of life's challenges. He also offers insights into the nature of human relationships, the role of art and culture in society, and the nature of existence itself. ""Counsels and Maxims"" is a timeless work of philosophy that continues to resonate with readers today, offering wisdom and guidance for navigating the complexities of the human experience.So if you have to live amongst men, you must allow everyone the right to exist in accordance with the character he has, whatever it turns out to be: and all you should strive to do is to make use of this character in such a way as its kind and nature permit, rather than to hope for any alteration in it, or to condemn it off-hand for what it is. This is the true sense of the maxim--Live and let live. That, however, is a task which is difficult in proportion as it is right; and he is a happy man who can once for all avoid having to do with a great many of his fellow creatures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
