PattersonI have been gnawing a little bit at a time on the complete works of Schopenhauer in German; and when I saw this short book summarizing his philosophy in English; I jumped at the chance to check on my level of comprehension. Schopenhauer was; of course; a trailblazer of modern thought. His emphasis on the willfulness is reflected in thee works of philosophers (Nietzsche. James; etc.); psychologists (purposiivsts such as Freud; Adler; Jung); and novelists (such as Ayn Rand). His notion of "will" is all encompassing and might be better expressed simply as "energy" since he does not draw a clear line between the living and inert things. He seems to feel a need to escape from willfulness through aesthetic and ascetic experience. (Shades of Dostoevsky) This little book is a good short cut for anyone who does not have the fluency or perhaps the patience to read Schopenhauer's untranslated works.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Biography of SchopenhauerBy MeiThis biography of Arthur Schopenhauer was first published in 1909 and is in the public domain in countries where the copyright term is authors life plus 70 years (or less); it can be downloaded for free from the web. The printed edition of this book had about 100 pages; or app. 40 pages at A-4 paper size.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a German philosopher known for his pessimism and beautiful writing. The author of this book; Thomas Whittaker (1856-1935) studied at the University of Oxford; he was an English metafysican and critic. This biography of Schopenhauer is not easy to read; if you have no prior knowledge of philosophy you will probably struggle at times to grasp the meaning. As a sample; so you can judge for yourself; I will copy the first paragraph from Chapter IV on esthetics below.The contents of this book:I. LIFE AND WRITINGS;II. THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE;III. METAPHYSICS OF THE WILL;IV. ÆSTHETICS;V. ETHICS;VI. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE; SELECTED WORKS;(The first paragraph of Chapter IV:)A portion of Schopenhauer's system by which its pessimism isconsiderably mitigated is his theory of the Beautiful and of Fine Art.The characteristic of æsthetic contemplation is; he finds; thatintellect throws off the yoke and subsists purely for itself as clearmirror of the world; free from all subjection to practical purposes ofthe will. In this state of freedom; temporary painlessness is attained.[...]
