The Essays Of Arthur Schopenhauer; Studies In Pessimism 

The ''Studies In Pessimis'' is written by Arthur Schopenhauer. The Essays that are being provided here are an additional selection from Schopenhauer's Parerga that have been gathered under a title that is not present in the original. The first essay is primarily a translation of the philosopher's observations found in the section titled Night Reflections on the Lesson of the Death of the World, as well as excerpts from another portion titled Night Reflections on the Lesson of the Bejahung and Verneinung of the Will to Life. Such omissions as the author have made are primarily motivated by the wish to avoid restating arguments that readers of the other volumes in this series are already familiar with. The Dialogue on Immortality summarizes ideas that were extensively discussed in the philosopher's major book and again in the Parerga. The chapter of the original with the same title as this and the preceding volume is almost finished with the psychological observations. The essay about women shouldn't be read as a joke. It conveys Schopenhauer's strong opinions, and as a perceptive observer of humanity's flaws, he should be given a chance to speak on a topic that is currently generating a lot of discussion among us.
