Arthur Schopenhauer
Edited by Jens Lemanski (University of Münster, Fernuniversität Hagen)
About this topic
| Summary | Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) stands as a highly influential figure among German philosophers, leaving an indelible mark on the philosophical landscape of the late 19th century onwards. Known for his systematic approach, Schopenhauer sought to encapsulate the totality of intuitive understanding of the world and the human mind through the lens of abstract concepts. His philosophical framework revolves around two central concepts: (1) representation and (2) will. (1) The realm of representation, as explored by Schopenhauer, encompasses intuitive cognition, threading through the intricacies of time, space and causality. Simultaneously, he explores the realm of reason, which encompasses the realms of language (including logic and eristic dialectics), philosophy of science, and practical rationality. Schopenhauer's exploration also extends into aesthetics, culminating in an extensive theory of beauty and a comprehensive philosophy of individual art forms. (2) Schopenhauer approached the concept of will in order to examine nature, the physical world and metaphysics. Within this scope, he moved on to practical philosophy, distinguishing between (a) the affirmation and (b) negation of the will (to life). (a) The affirmation of the will includes ethical action, the philosophy of law, the theory of the state, and social theory. (b) The negation of the will, on the other hand, includes ascetic practices motivated by religion, contemplation, self-sacrifice, and related topics. -- Schopenhauer's philosophical contributions went beyond his systematic framework. For example, his intercultural perspective on philosophy with a particular focus on Asia, his ideas on compassion, his critique of uncritical faith in reason and optimism, his advocacy of intuition, and his thoughts on animal rights have had a profound impact to this day. |
| Key works | Schopenhauer’s central work is The World as Will and Representation, Vol. I which was rewritten and expanded for an academic audience as the Berlin Lectures. These contain Schopenhauer’s philosophical system. As supplements to this system, Schopenhauer arranges further writings that deal with specific parts of his system: The Fourfold Root and On Vision and Colours deal with the perspective of representation. On the Will in Nature, On the Freedom of the Will and On the Basis of Morality are to be attributed to the perspective of the will and deal with additions to natural philosophy and ethics. The World as Will and Representation, Vol. II and the two volumes of Parerga and Paralipomena are later published writings and deal in many chapters each with certain thematic additions, extensions and changes to the original system. |

- The Oneiric World: Dreams in the Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer.Ryan May - manuscriptThroughout Arthur Schopenhauer’s post-Kantian Weltanschauung, one frequently encounters the philosopher of pessimism pondering over the enigmatic relationship between our waking-lives, dream-lives, and Reality. Schopenhauer’s efforts to unravel this puzzle take the form of an extensive and elaborate exploration that reaches into the depths of epistemology, speculative metaphysics, physiology, and even parapsychology. To fully appreciate the fruits of Schopenhauer’s labor, and to better understand the many-sided character of his proposed solutions to the enigma of the oneiric world, Schopenhauer’s discussions of dreams (...)

- How Not to Hate Humanity: Schopenhauer's Response to Misanthropy.David Bather Woods - forthcoming - Mind.Schopenhauer has a longstanding reputation for misanthropy. The reputation is warranted, but it is also potentially misleading. Privately, Schopenhauer resisted being called misanthropic, possibly because of the false implication that he hated humanity. Recent philosophical studies of misanthropy have helped to forestall this implication by detaching the definition of misanthropy from hatred and associating it instead with a negative critical verdict of humankind that can be expressed in a wider range of responses. On this definition, whether Schopenhauer endorses the misanthropic (...)
- Schopenhauer e il criterio patologico della morale. Prospettive di ricerca per un'etica orientata al paziente.Fabio Ciracì - forthcoming - la Società Degli Individui:89-101.ABSTRACT: Beginning with the analysis of the Mitleid, understood as the metaphysical foundation of Arthur Schopenhauer’s ethics, this contribution aims to investigate the ‘pathological criterion’ as instituting a new direction in contemporary ethics, in order to develop and actualize it in the perspective of a patient-oriented ethics.
- Schopenhauer's Ethics of Compassion.Patrick Hassan - forthcoming - In Sandra Shapshay & Colin Marshall, The New Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer. Cambridge University Press.Within Schopenhauer's ethical system we find a sophisticated analysis of moral and immoral characters, a rich phenomenological account of virtuous and vicious behaviour, critical appraisals of competing accounts of moral motivation, and sustained treatments of practical ethical issues such as suicide, slavery, and animal welfare. At its core is the unrivalled moral significance of compassion [Mitleid]. It is not surprising, therefore, that Schopenhauer’s moral philosophy has, to varying degrees, sometimes been associated with the ethical tradition of sentimentalism: the view that (...)

Cambridge University Press.In this chapter, I outline Schopenhauer's views on the Will, especially as they relate to metaphysical explanation. I also describe some puzzles about the very meaning of “Will,” as Schopenhauer introduces it, and argue that there are interpretive benefits to privileging his descriptions of the Will as the essence of all things. Finally, I suggest that Schopenhauer’s theory of the negation of the Will can be charitably read as a piece of bold metaphysics, according to which real essences can change. (...)

Focusing in particular on the discussion of the acquired character, his cognitive theory of motivation, and the idea of intellectual freedom, I argue that we find two conceptions of rational agency in Schopenhauer. The ‘minimal’ conception sees rational agency primarily as a kind of reflective motivation, whereas the ‘maximal’ or ‘robust’ conception sees rational agency as involving a kind of reflective self-organization. Furthermore, I argue that (...)

- 'Schopenhauer's worst of all possible worlds'.David Bather Woods - 2025 - British Journal for the History of Philosophy:1-16.Few are persuaded by Schopenhauer’s argument that ours is the worst of all possible worlds. In this paper, I propose and defend an alternative reading of Schopenhauer’s argument. According to my reading, the argument has considerable polemical force against Leibnizian optimism independently of its positive success. Its force lies in its implicit proposal of worldly sustainability as a measure of worldly perfection. Worldly sustainability is the degree by which a possible world can tolerate alterations for the worse without ending. There (...)

The case of the poet Mihai Eminescu.Ştefan Bolea & Ştefan-Sebastian Maftei - 2025 - Studies in East European Thought 77 (2).This article discusses the influence that Schopenhauer’s thought had on Mihai Eminescu’s work with reference to the idea of “pessimism.” It also considers Schopenhauer’s influence on Romanian philosophy and literature at the end of the nineteenth century. We shall examine Eminescu’s alleged “Schopenhauerian pessimism,” considering firstly “pessimism” as a part of Eminescu’s “myth.” Secondly, we shall cover the critical reception of Eminescu’s “Schopenhauerian pessimism,” discussing the existing literary and philosophical scholarship. Finding that there are issues for debate regarding Schopenhauer’s alleged (...)

- "The Poison in the Snake's Fang": Schopenhauer on Malice.Patrick Hassan - 2025 - Journal of the History of Philosophy 63 (4):621-645.Schopenhauer is one of the few philosophers in the history of Western ethics to dedicate sustained critical attention to the nature, extent, and phenomenology of malice. Yet while other aspects of Schopenhauer's moral psychology have received significant attention, his nuanced account of malice is under-explored. This paper attempts to remedy this oversight. It argues that Schopenhauer defends a unified and hierarchical account of moral vice in which malice is a sui generis motive, the pinnacle of immorality, and far more pervasive (...)
- From Will to Ultimate Reality: The Plotinian Influence in Schopenhauer's Doctrine of the Thing in Itself.S. J. Juan Carlos Rivera - 2025 - Review of Metaphysics 78 (4):691-721.In this article, the author highlights the distinction between the volitional and henological language surrounding Schopenhauer's doctrine of the thing in itself and proposes the ramifications of this distinction. The most immediate association that comes when one thinks about Schopenhauer's thing in itself is Schopenhauer's identifying it with the will (Wille). From this follows Schopenhauer's characterization of the thing in itself as a blind striving, an aimless force that seems in constant movement, never satisfied—what the author calls the volitional account.

- Schopenhauer on the Futility of Suicide.Colin Marshall - 2025 - Mind 134 (533):171-190.Schopenhauer repeatedly claims that suicide is both foolish and futile. But while many commentators have expressed sympathy for his charge of foolishness, most regard his charge of futility as indefensible even within his own system. In this paper, I offer a defense of Schopenhauer’s futility charge, based on metaphysical and psychological considerations. On the metaphysical front, Schopenhauer’s view implies that psychological connections extend beyond death. Drawing on Parfit’s discussion of personal identity, I argue that those connections have personal significance, such (...)

Routledge. pp. 162 - 175.I argue that the nineteenth-century German pessimist philosopher Philipp Mainländer is unique in that he views boredom as the driving force behind the creation of the universe and at the same time the driving force behind our inevitable extinction. In order to show this, I explain why he claims that God was at one point bored with His existence and why humanity should strive for the construction of an advanced just and egalitarian society as a way to hasten our demise.

- Schopenhauer's Politics.Jakob Norberg - 2025 - Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) lived through an era of great political turmoil, but previous assessments of his political thought have portrayed him as a pessimistic observer with no constructive solutions to offer. By assembling and contextualizing Schopenhauer's dispersed comments on political matters, this book reveals that he developed a distinct conception of politics. In opposition to rising ideological movements such as nationalism or socialism, Schopenhauer denied that politics can ever bring about universal emancipation or fraternal unity. Instead, he viewed politics as (...)
- The very possibility of contemplation: The dialectics of intellect and will in Schopenhauer's aesthetics.Alexander Sattar - 2025 - Southern Journal of Philosophy 63 (1):66-80.In this article, I explore how Schopenhauer's theory of aesthetic experience—independently of his theory of arts—accommodates the possibility of contemplation. The standard reading of his aesthetics is that contemplation becomes possible because of a certain “surplus” of intellect and facilitating external occasions. I argue, however, that the “essential imperfections” of intellect and Schopenhauer's overall metaphysics are inconsistent with the very idea of will‐less cognition and, hence, of a free intellect. An alternative explanation of contemplation better fits with Schopenhauer's philosophy overall (...)
- The Paradox Of Human Existence: Pessimism, Meaning And The Limits Of Progress.R. L. Tripathi - 2025 - International Journal of Creative Thoughts Research 13 (6):19.The human experience moves continuously between personal success and philosophical hopelessness which philosophers including Arthur Schopenhauer along with Albert Camus, David Benatar, John Gray and Thomas Ligotti have emphasized upon in their writings. The analysis in this paper will be about their evaluations of optimistic beliefs as well as the concepts of human advancement and search for values in life. According to Schopenhauer suffering dominates life but Camus explains that defiance or revolt allows people to discover meaning beyond absurdism. Benatar (...)

My aim is to provide ways in which Schopenhauer’s soteriology could work. It is a partially reconstructive project in that I will be bringing to the forefront some of Schopenhauer’s assertions at the expense of others. My aim is to show that we are able to provide a much more cohesive and satisfying reading of Schopenhauer’s philosophical project if we let go of some of the (...)

Raised to be a Ruist (or Confucian) scholar official, he gave up this path to pursue the study of the “new learning” (xīnxué 新學) from the West and became enamored with German aesthetic philosophy, especially the works of Kant, Schiller, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.

- Schopenhauer's Buddhism: a historical-philosophical inquiry.Laura Langone - 2024 - Lanham: Lexington Books.In a letter from May 10, 1852 Adam von Doss, Schopenhauer declared himself a Buddhist. This book is the first study to do justice to Schopenhauer's passion for Buddhism, reconstructing the notions of Buddhism he acquired through his Buddhist readings as well as their influence on his thought.
- The Buddhism of Wagner and Nietzsche and their indebtedness to Schopenhauer.Laura Langone - 2024 - History of European Ideas 50 (3):428-443.That Schopenhauer’s view of Buddhism influenced Wagner’s and Nietzsche’s Buddhism seems a commonplace among scholars. However, there seem to be no studies which actually demonstrated this, showing how Schopenhauer was their main source of Buddhism compared to the other Buddhist texts they read. In this article, I aim to fill this gap, analysing Wagner’s and Nietzsche’s Buddhism in the light of the sources of Buddhism they read. This will allow me to demonstrate how Schopenhauer was the main source of Buddhism (...)
- Transcendental Philosophy and Logic Diagrams.Jens Lemanski - 2024 - Philosophical Investigations 48 (1):91-117.Logic diagrams have seen a resurgence in their application in a range of fields, including logic, biology, media science, computer science and philosophy. Consequently, understanding the history and philosophy of these diagrams has become crucial. As many current diagrammatic systems in logic are based on ideas that originated in the 18th and 19th centuries, it is important to consider what motivated the use of logic diagrams in the past and whether these reasons are still valid today. This paper proposes that (...)

- Nietzsche contra Schopenhauer on Art and Truth.Jeremy Page - 2024 - The Monist 107 (4):378-392.Abstract below. The published version of this article is available open access at The Monist's website. Part of Plato’s complaint about the cognitive status of art cites the pollution of aesthetic cognition by the affective side of our natures. Schopenhauer, by contrast, takes aesthetic cognition to transcend (some of) the limitations of everyday cognition precisely because in it agents become the “pure, will-less subject of cognition” (WWR I 219). On the orthodox reading of his later philosophy, Nietzsche scorns Plato and (...)
- Schopenhauer como educador.Enock da Silva Peixoto - 2024 - Filosofia E Educação 14 (3):162-189.Schopenhauer como educador é a terceira, das quatro Considerações Intempestivas e, nesta obra, o então mestre de Nietzsche figura como modelo de educador. Schopenhauer é visto por Nietzsche, neste momento, como um exemplo de gênio, pois figurou na sociedade como exceção, não como regra. A universidade da época e a estrutura estatal são reprovadas por Nietzsche, e, para as confrontar, ele as utiliza como chave de leitura crítica o pensamento do autor conterrâneo. Estudaremos, perpassando as análises que Nietzsche de que (...)
- Nietzsche leitor de Schopenhauer.Flamarion Caldeira Ramos - 2024 - Cadernos Nietzsche 45 (1):e184476.This paper aims to offer an image of Nietzsche as a reader of Schopenhauer, putting aside some fundamental issues, such as the influence of Wagner and the critique of his former master in his late philosophy. Trying to isolate these aspects, I will take Nietzsche as one of the most important reader of Schopenhauer. His deep veneration does not exclude relentless criticism and his relentless criticism does not exclude his deep veneration of Schopenhauer.
- A Convex Mirror: Schopenhauer's Philosophy and the Sciences.Marco Segala - 2024 - New York, US:Schopenhauer is acknowledged as “the philosopher of pessimism” and author of a system that teaches how art and morality can help humans navigate life in “the worst of all possible worlds.” This dominant image has cut off an important branch of Schopenhauer’s tree of philosophy—metaphysics of nature and its constant dialogue with the sciences of the time. Beginning with a reappraisal of Schopenhauer’s system as a whole—which he defined as a “single thought”—this book interprets his metaphysics as a knowledge that (...)
- Schopenhauer on the inconsistency between optimism and personal immortality.Mor Segev - 2024 - Southern Journal of Philosophy 62 (4):453-468.For Schopenhauer, death, understood as the annihilation of an individual's existence, cannot be successfully accommodated by theories endorsing an optimistic assessment of both human life and the world at large. I argue that Schopenhauer also has reasons to think that optimism cannot adopt personal immortality as a solution to that problem, although he does not present them systematically. Thus, he argues, prolonging one's life would necessarily lead at some point to an unbearable state of exhaustion due to one's unchanging character. (...)
- Tempo, espaço e causalidade na primeira e segunda fases do pensamento de Nietzsche a partir de um estudo comparativo com a epistemologia de Schopenhauer.Márcio Luiz Silva & Ricardo de Oliveira Toledo - 2024 - Aufklärung 11 (1):99-118.This article has two tasks: to investigate the notions of space, time and causality in Schopenhauer’s theory of knowledge and, subsequently, to carry out a comparative study of the results obtained with the epistemological considerations between the first and second phase of Nietzsche’s thought. It is understood that conclusions concerning the world as representation had an echo in the first digressions of the author of The Birth of Tragedy on the conceptions of space, time and causality. However, the departures begin (...)
