About Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a German philosopher known for his pessimistic philosophy and profound influence on existentialism and psychology. He emphasized the role of the will as the fundamental driving force of human life and argued that suffering is an inherent part of existence. His major work, "The World as Will and Representation," explores the nature of reality and offers a critique of optimism, notably challenging the philosophies of Hegel and Kant.
