Strom. II., 21.Schopenhauer is one of the few philosophers who can be generally understood without a commentary. Clear, vigorous, and drawn from life itself, his writing stands apart for its rare accessibility and sharp insight. In The Wisdom of Life, he explores the art of living well-what he calls eud monology-offering practical reflections on how to make life as bearable, even as happy, as possible.Departing from his usual metaphysical stance, Schopenhauer speaks here as a worldly observer, aware of life's illusions but still concerned with the question of how best to live.Although this volume can be read independently, it is drawn from Parerga and Paralipomena, a later work intended to complement The World as Will and Representation. Like a citadel with many gates, Schopenhauer's system allows entry from many points-and here, in vivid and worldly reflections, he reveals himself as a philosopher who has truly experienced life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Schopenhauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2384556088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782384556083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alicia Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Arthur Schopenhauer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460200313087,"sku":"9782384556083","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66696503-9a05-44d1-9778-0de73398c1c3.jpg?v=1777413373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wisdom-of-life-arthur-schopenhauer-9782384556083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
