Arthur Schopenhauer (German: Arthur Schopenhauer, February 22, 1788 - September 21, 1860, died at the age of 72) , a famous German philosopher. He was the first person in the history of philosophy to openly oppose rationalist philosophy and pioneered irrationalist philosophy. He was also one of the founders and main representatives of voluntarism, believing that the will to life is the force that dominates the operation of the world.
Schopenhauer was born in a banker family in Danzig, Germany (now part of Poland, and has been renamed Gdansk). He was withdrawn since childhood. His father, Heinrich Floris Schopenhauer, was a very successful businessman. Later, he went crazy and committed suicide by drowning. His mother, Johanna Schopenhauer, was a well-known writer at the time and had contacts with literary giants such as Goethe. The relationship between him and his mother had never been good, and the estrangement was very deep, and eventually the relationship broke down. Schopenhauer inherited his father's property, which enabled him to live a wealthy life. After Schopenhauer died due to worsening pneumonia, he donated all his property to charity. You can see him in many books.
In 1809, he entered the University of G?ttingen to study medicine, but shifted his interest to philosophy, and studied for a period of time in Berlin in 1811. There he developed a keen interest in Fichte and Schleiermacher. He received his PhD with "On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason". Goethe admired this article very much, and at the same time discovered Schopenhauer's pessimism tendency, and warned: If you love your own value, then give more value to the world. He called Plato divine and Kant miraculous, and he greatly respected the ideas of these two men. But he did not agree with the later speculative philosophy represented by Fichte and Hegel. [1]
Between 1814 and 1819, he completed his representative work "The World as Will and Representation" in intellectual solitude.
This work was influenced by Indian philosophy and is considered to be the first work to integrate Eastern and Western ideas, but no one paid attention to it after its publication. Schopenhauer said this about his book: If I am not worthy of this era, then this era is not worthy of me. But based on this work, he obtained the qualification of non-staff professor at the University of Berlin. One famous thing here is that he chose to teach at the same time as Hegel, whom he considered a famous sophist. But Hegel was at the peak of his fame at that time, and Schopenhauer naturally failed to succeed. Soon there were only two or three people left in his class, and finally there was no one left. He could only leave the University of Berlin desolately. It also confirms my own point of view - truly wise people are not appreciated.
