Arthur Schopenhauer: His Life and His Philosophy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Arthur Schopenhauer His Life and His PhilosophyNearly a quarter of a century has elapsed since the name of Arthur Schopenhauer was first pronounced in England. This country may claim to have given the signal for the recognition of a thinker not at the time widely known or eminently honoured in his native land; and although the subsequent expansion of his fame and influence has been principally conspicuous in Germany, indications have not been wanting of a steady growth of curiosity and interest respecting him here. Allusions to him in English periodical literature have of late been frequent, assuming an acquaintance with his philosophy on the reader's part which the latter, it may be feared, does not often possess.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
