About this audiobook

In this final part to Schopenhauer's momentous and hugely influential work, his original and wide-ranging observations are as lively as ever. Though cast as a 'pessimist' by history, he is anything but that to read - and listen to. Here are the last supplementary comments his original work (published 1818), the fruit of decades of further reflection. These essays - some fairly substantial - include 'On Instinct and Mechanical Tendency', 'On Genius', 'On Madness', 'The Inner Nature of Art', 'The Metaphysics of Music', 'The Metaphysics of Love of the Sexes', and 'The Way of Salvation'. This translation by Haldane and Kemp omitted - for reasons of 'modesty' - a fascinating essay 'On Pederasty'. This has now been translated and read by Leighton Pugh and included here, offering a truly complete recording of Schopenhauer's opus magnus. And once again it is clear why Schopenhauer influenced a wide range of philosophers, writers and artists over the succeeding generations, including Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett and many others.

Author

Arthur Schopenhauer

Nació en Danzig en 1788. Hijo de un próspero comerciante, la muerte prematura de su padre le liberó de dedicarse a la actividad comercial y le procuró un patrimonio que le permitió vivir de las rentas, pudiéndose consagrar de lleno a la filosofía. Fue un hombre solitario y metódico, de carácter irascible y de una acentuada misoginia. Enemigo personal y filosófico de Hegel, despreció siempre el idealismo alemán y se consideró a sí mismo como el verdadero continuador de Kant, en cuya filosofía encontró la clave para su metafísica de la voluntad. Su pensamiento no conoció la fama hasta pocos años después de su muerte, acaecida en Fráncfort en 1860. En esta misma Editorial han sido publicadas sus obras Metafísica de las costumbres (2001), El mundo como voluntad y representación I (4.ª ed., 2022) y II (5.ª ed., 2022), Parerga y paralipómena I (5.ª ed.,2023) y II (4.ª ed., 2023), Dialéctica erística, o El arte de tener razón en 38 artimañanas (2023), Diarios de viaje. Los Diarios de viaje de los años 1800 y 1803-1804 (2012) y Sobre la visión y los colores (2.ª ed., 2024).
