Schopenhauer: a Biography David E Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-62695-9 - Schopenhauer: A Biography David E. Cartwright Frontmatter More information SCHOPENHAUER: A BIOGRAPHY Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) was one of the most original and pro- vocative thinkers of the nineteenth century. He spent a lifetime striving to understand the meaning of living in a world where suffering and death are ubiquitous. In his quest to solve “the ever-disquieting riddle of existence,” Schopenhauer explored almost every dimension of human existence, develop- ing a darkly compelling worldview that found deep resonance in contemporary literature, music, philosophy, and psychology. This is the first comprehensive biography of Schopenhauer written in English. Placing him in his historical and philosophical contexts, David E. Cartwright tells the story of Schopenhauer’s life to convey the full range of his philosophy. He offers a fully documented portrait in which he explores Schopenhauer’s fractured family life, his early formative influences, his crit- ical loyalty to Kant, his personal interactions with Fichte and Goethe, his ambivalent relationship with Schelling, his contempt for Hegel, his struggle to make his philosophy known, and his reaction to his late-arriving fame. The Schopenhauer who emerges in this biography is the complex author of a philosophy that had a significant influence on figures as diverse as Samuel Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges, Emile Durkheim, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Hardy, Thomas Mann, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. David E. Cartwright is professor of philosophy and religious studies at the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater. He has published numerous articles on Schopenhauer and nineteenth-century German philosophy, translated and edited several of Schopenhauer’s books, and is the author of the Historical Dictionary of Schopenhauer’s Philosophy. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-62695-9 - Schopenhauer: A Biography David E.

Cartwright Frontmatter More information Preface Arthur Schopenhauer continues to be one of the most widely read philoso- phers outside of academe, and it is only a slight exaggeration to say that academics have paid him more attention in the last thirty years than they have in any period following the publication of his philosophical masterpiece, The World as Will and Representation, which appeared in December 1818. This remark, however, is not an exaggeration at all if it is restricted to Anglo-American scholars. Schopenhauer’s broad pop- ularity is relatively easy to understand, as is the resurgence of interest among scholars. In addition to addressing traditional topics in aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, logic, and metaphysics in the rigorous and special- ized forms favored by philosophers, his fifty-year quest to discover and explain the meaning of the totality of experience led him to investigate almost every significant aspect of human experience. Ever the perennialist, he dealt with universal themes concerning the human condition, such as love, sex, suffering, death, the meaning and value of life, and redemption. He also explored phenomena neglected by many philosophers, includ- ing colors, genius, homosexuality, humor, madness, the metaphysics of music, the moral status of animals, mysticism, paranormal phenomena, and weeping. Always committed to the truth, he trailed its spurs wherever its track steered. Seldom worrying about writing to please, he stated the truth as he saw it. His voracious curiosity and cosmopolitan sensibilities made him the first major Western philosopher to seriously consider East- ern thought. In addition to his stressing commonalities between Eastern and Western perspectives, Hinduism and Buddhism helped shape his phi- losophy, and he recognized ways in which Eastern thought transcended that of the West. Yet it is not simply his vast array of topics that draw readers to Schopen- hauer. He loathed obscurantism of any kind, and he viewed the torturous ix © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-62695-9 - Schopenhauer: A Biography David E. Cartwright Frontmatter More information x Preface styles of many of his contemporaries as displaying a poverty of thought that they attempted to conceal by incomprehensible jargon wrapped in ponder- ous sentence structures. Compared to his contemporaries and compared to most philosophers, he wrote wonderfully and clearly. He philosophized from the heart, from a genuine astonishment about the world, and not simply from a puzzlement about what other philosophers had said. He wrote with wit, irony, and sarcasm; polemically and provocatively; with grace and beauty. At times, reading Schopenhauer is an aesthetic expe- rience of the first order. His works abound with personal observations based on his travels, his experiences of great works of art, and his keen attention to human behavior. He was as likely to quote from Goethe as he was from Kant. To illustrate a point, or to clarify an idea, he would draw from world literature and religion, from poetry and philosophy, and from the natural sciences. Schopenhauer’s original and darkly compelling worldview, with its expressive and inviting style and its emphasis on instinctive drives and nonrational forces directing not only human behavior, but everything in the world, has had a remarkable history of influence. Some scholars have detected the imprint of his thought in the work of figures as diverse as Jacob Burckhardt, Paul Deussen, Emile Durkheim, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Erwin Schrodinger,¨ Swami Vivekananda,¯ and Wilhelm Wundt. Others have heard him in the music of Johannes Brahms, Anton´ın Dvorak,´ Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schonberg,¨ and Richard Wagner. Still others have read him in Charles Baudelaire, Samuel Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges, Joseph Conrad, Afanasij Fet, Gustav Flaubert, Theodor Fontane, Andre´ Gide, George Gissing, Thomas Hardy, Friedrich Hebbel, Her- mann Hesse, Henrik Ibsen, Thomas Mann, William Somerset Maugham, Guy de Maupassant, Herman Melville,

  • The Affirmation of the Will
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-62695-9 - Schopenhauer: A Biography David E. Cartwright Excerpt More information 1 The Affirmation of the Will RTHUR SCHOPENHAUER VIEWED himself as homeless. This sense of A homelessness became the leitmotif of both his life and his philos- ophy. After the first five years of his life in Danzig, where he was born on 22 February 1788, his family fled the then free city to avoid Prus- sian control. From that point on, he said, “I have never acquired a new home.”1 He lived in Hamburg on and off for fourteen years, but he had his best times when he was away from that city. When he left Hamburg, he felt as if he were escaping a prison. He lived for four years in Dresden, but he would only view this city as the birthplace of his principal work, The World as Will and Representation. More than a decade in Berlin did nothing to give him a sense of belonging. He would angrily exclaim that he was no Berliner. After living as a noncitizen resident in Frankfurt am Main for the last twenty-eight years of his life, and after spending fifty years attempting to understand the nature and meaning of the world, he would ultimately conclude that the world itself was not his home. If one were to take this remark seriously, then even Danzig had not been his home. He was homeless from birth. But being homeless from birth did not mean that there was no point to his life. Schopenhauer would also conclude that from birth he had a mission in life.

    03/05/2017 Arthur Schopenhauer (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Arthur Schopenhauer First published Mon May 12, 2003; substantive revision Sat Nov 19, 2011 Among 19th century philosophers, Arthur Schopenhauer was among the first to contend that at its core, the universe is not a rational place. Inspired by Plato and Kant, both of whom regarded the world as being more amenable to reason, Schopenhauer developed their philosophies into an instinct­recognizing and ultimately ascetic outlook, emphasizing that in the face of a world filled with endless strife, we ought to minimize our natural desires for the sake of achieving a more tranquil frame of mind and a disposition towards universal beneficence. Often considered to be a thoroughgoing pessimist, Schopenhauer in fact advocated ways — via artistic, moral and ascetic forms of awareness — to overcome a frustration­filled and fundamentally painful human condition. Since his death in 1860, his philosophy has had a special attraction for those who wonder about life's meaning, along with those engaged in music, literature, and the visual arts. 1.

    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction walter kaufmann was born in Freiburg in Breisgau, Germany, on July 1, 1921, and died in Princeton, New Jersey, on September 4, 1980, far too young, at fifty‑nine, for someone of his vitality.1 His colleague, the Princeton histo‑ rian Carl Schorske, remained lucid until his death in 2015, after having cel‑ ebrated his one‑hundredth birthday.2 Arthur Szathmary, who together with Walter Kaufmann joined Princeton’s Department of Philosophy in 1947, died in 2013 at ninety‑seven; and Joseph Frank, emeritus professor of compara‑ tive literature at Princeton, with whom Walter debated an understanding of Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground, passed away in 2013 at ninety‑four, some months after publishing his last book.3 It is hard to imagine Kaufmann’s sudden death at that age arising from an ordinary illness, and in fact the cir‑ cumstances fit a conception of tragedy—if not his own. According to Walter’s brother, Felix Kaufmann, Walter, while on one of his Faustian journeys of exploration to West Africa, swallowed a parasite that attacked his heart. In the months following, Walter died of a burst aorta in his Princeton home. His death does not fit his own conception of tragedy, for his bookThe Faith of a Heretic contains the extraordinary sentences: When I die, I do not want them to say: Think of all he still might have done.

  • Philosophy of Modeling in the 1870S: a Tribute to Hans Vaihinger
    Baltic J. Modern Computing, Vol. 9 (2021), No. 1, pp. 67–110 https://doi.org/10.22364/bjmc.2021.9.1.05 Philosophy of Modeling in the 1870s: A Tribute to Hans Vaihinger Karlis Podnieks Faculty of Computing, University of Latvia 19 Raina Blvd., Riga, LV-1586, Latvia [email protected] Abstract. This paper contains a detailed exposition and analysis of The Philosophy of “As If“ proposed by Hans Vaihinger in his book published in 1911. However, the principal chapters of the book (Part I) reproduce Vaihinger’s Habilitationsschrift, which was written during the autumn and winter of 1876. Part I is extended by Part II based on texts written during 1877–1878, when Vaihinger began preparing the book. The project was interrupted, resuming only in the 1900s. My conclusion is based exclusively on the texts written in 1876-1878: Vaihinger was, decades ahead of the time, a philosopher of modeling in the modern sense – a brilliant achievement for the 1870s! And, in the demystification of such principal aspects of cognition as truth, understanding and causality, is he not still ahead of many of us? According to Vaihinger, what we set beyond sensations is our invention (fiction), the correspondence of which with reality cannot (and need not) be verified in the mystical, absolute sense many people expect. Keywords: fictionalism, fiction, hypothesis, dogma, sensations, reality, truth, understanding, modeling 1 Introduction “Aller Dogmatismus ist hier verschwunden,“ according to Simon et al. (2013). I suspect that by saying this regarding his book, Hans Vaihinger meant, in fact, that if people would adopt his Philosophie des Als Ob, most of traditional philosophy would become obsolete.

Bad faith is often construed as lying to oneself; however, this entails an individual being both the deceiver and deceived which presents a number of paradoxes. By reconceptualising bad faith as self-deception rather than lying to oneself these paradoxes are avoided. Nietzsche’s Genealogy examines the development of modern morality and explains its genesis through identifying a specific psychological tendency, namely, ressentiment. Ressentiment
