SCHEDE BIOGRAFICHE
PERSONAGGI ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER Per A rthur S chopenhauer (1788-1860) l'essenza dell'universo è volontà, radice unica che si realizza nell'uomo e nelle cose, colta non già attraverso un sapere razionale ma attraverso un'intuizione immediata. La volontà si rivela come irrazionale e come bisogno, deficienza, quindi infelicità e dolore. Di questa infelicità cosmica l'uomo è drammatico centro: al suo dolore la natura resta indifferente. Il dolore è nota costante dell'esistenza; e tuttavia, Shopenhauer ravvisa una possibilità di liberazione nella contemplazione estetica: in essa l'uomo diviene puro, disinteressato soggetto conoscente che, intuendo l'idea, si sottrae, sia pure soltanto per alcuni istanti privilegiati, al dolore dell'esistenza.
(vedi pagine di pensieri e frammenti "SUI DOLORI DEL MONDO" L'intuizione come strumento di conoscenza dell'essere, l'irrazionalità del tutto, l'indifferenza della natura al travaglio umano, l'arte come conoscenza e come liberazione dal dolore sono motivi che entreranno nella sensibilità e nella poetica del decadentismo.
petitio principii , poichè all'improvviso ci si accorge che l'ultimo anello costituisce il punto di partenza e la catena è un cerchio. E ci si chiede come si può spiegare la mente con la materia, quando soltanto per mezzo della mente si può conoscere la materia?"

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) German post-Kantian philosopher, who considered true philosophy as art, and accessible to only a few capable minds. Schopenhauer believed that Kant's most important insight was that human knowledge depends not only on what the reality is but also on what our bodies - senses, nervous system, brains - can contemplate. One can immediately know the thing-in-itself through the experience of an inner reality within one's own body. Schopenhauer's chief work is DIE WELT ALS WILLE UND VORSTELLUNG (1818, The World as Will and Representation). The Austrian-British philosopher Karl Popper once observed that there were more "good ideas" in Schopenhauer than in any other philosopher except Plato. "Precisely because he had written The World as Will and Representation , Schopenhauer knew very well that to be a thinker is as illusory as being a sick man or a misfortunate man, and that he was profoundly something else. Something else: the will, the dark root of Parolles, the thing that Swift was." (from The Total Library by Jorge Luis Borges, 1999)

1. Life: 1788-1860
Schopenhauer toured through Europe several times with his family as a youngster and young teenager, and lived in France (1797-99) and briefly in England (1803), where he learned how to speak the languages of those countries. As he later reported, his experiences in France were among the happiest of his life. The professional occupations of a merchant or banker, however, were not sufficiently consistent with Schopenhauer's scholarly disposition, and although for two years after his father's death (in Hamburg, April 20, 1805; possibly by suicide) Schopenhauer continued to respect the commercial aspirations his father had had for him, he finally left his Hamburg business apprenticeship at age 19 to prepare for university studies. In the meantime, his mother, Johanna Henriette Troisiener Schopenhauer (1766-1838), who was the daughter of a city senator, along with Schopenhauer's sister, Luise Adelaide [Adele] Lavinia Schopenhauer (1797-1849), left their Hamburg home at Neuer Wandrahm 92 and moved to Weimar after Heinrich Floris's death, where Johanna established a friendship with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). In Weimar, Goethe frequently visited Johanna's intellectual salon, and Johanna Schopenhauer became a well-known writer of the period, producing a voluminous assortment of essays, travelogues, novels (e.g.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
Certainly one of the greatest philosophers of the 19th century, Schopenhauer seems to have had more impact on literature (e.g. Thomas Mann) and on people in general than on academic philosophy. Perhaps that is because, first, he wrote very well, simply and intelligibly (unusual, we might say, for a German philosopher, and unusual now for any philosopher), second, he was the first Western philosopher to have access to translations of philosophical material from India , both Vedic and Buddhist , by which he was profoundly affected, to the great interest of many, and, third, his concerns were with the dilemmas and tragedies, in a religious or existential sense, of real life, not just with abstract philosophical problems. As Jung said: He was the first to speak of the suffering of the world, which visibly and glaringly surrounds us, and of confusion, passion, evil all those things which the [other philosophers] hardly seemed to notice and always tried to resolve into all-embracing harmony and comprehensiblility. Here at last was a philosopher who had the courage to see that all was not for the best in the fundaments of the universe.

http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Philosophy/Schopenhauer.htm

Arthur Schopenhauer:
Schopenhauer was, as a philosopher, a pessimist; he was a follower of Kant's Idealist school Born in Danzig, Schopenhauer, because of a large inheritance from his father, was able to retire early, and, as a private scholar, was able to devote his life to the study of philosophy. By the age of thirty his major work, The World as Will and Idea , was published. The work, though sales were very disappointing, was, at least to Schopenhauer, a very important work. Bertrand Russell reports that Schopenhauer told people that certain of the paragraphs were written by the "Holy Ghost." Schopenhauer's system of philosophy, as previously mentioned, was based on that of Kant's. Schopenhauer did not believe that people had individual wills but were rather simply part of a vast and single will that pervades the universe: that the feeling of separateness that each of has is but an illusion. So far this sounds much like the Spinozistic view or the Naturalistic School of philosophy. The problem with Schopenhauer, and certainly unlike Spinoza, is that, in his view, "the cosmic will is wicked ... and the source of all endless suffering." To Schopenhauer life was a painful process, relief for which, might be achieved through art or through denial. "The good man will practise complete chastity, voluntary poverty, fasting, and self-torture." (Russell.) It was Schopenhauer's view that through the contemplation of art, one "might lose contact with the turbulent stream of detailed existence around us"; and that permanent relief came through "the denial of the will to live, by the eradication of our desires, of our instincts, by the renunciation of all we consider worth while in practical life."
