    About this ebook

    Arthur Schopenhauer
    Born in Danzig in 1788, died in Frankfurt am Main in 1860,
    was an outsider among philosophers. He did not belong to any particular school but bravely opposed the dominant schools of thought of his time by taking a more physical, oriented philosophical path.

    Human spirit, world history, meaning and goal, these are all illusions for him. For him the world is a senseless stage play of violence and agony.

    Man, ruled by irrational instincts, world history without any purpose, without any meaningful development.

    Life means suffering!

    Author

    Dennis Hans Ladener

    Der am 11.05.1990 in Köln geborene Freigeist, Dennis Hans Ladener, ist ein junger aufstrebender deutscher Philosoph, Freidenker, sowie System- und Gesellschaftskritiker, welcher sich seinen Weg hin zu der hohen Kunst des Denkens, beginnend als einfacher Wachmann, unaufhaltsam gleich einem Bulldozer immer weiter konsequent geebnet hat. Bereits über zwei Dutzend internationale Veröffentlichungen gehen seit dem Beginn seiner Laufbahn als Philosoph Anfang des Jahres 2011 auf sein Konto. Mit 21 Jahren verliebte ich mich endgültig in die Philosophie und schließlich auch in die Gedankenwelt Arthur Schopenhauers... Es war ein langer, einsamer, sowie steiniger Weg, doch bereut habe ich es nie ihn tatsächlich gegangen zu sein! Sein persönlicher Antrieb liegt darin verborgen, äußerst komplexe und nur schwer zu verstehende philosophische, sowie Gesellschafts / Systemkritische Themen so simpel und anschaulich wie möglich, der breiten Bevölkerung zugänglich zu machen. In der Tat, kein leichtes Unterfangen... Doch eines, welches sich definitiv lohnt!
