Features: Schopenhauer (Schopenhauer, Arthur, 1788-1860) was born in Danzig and is known as the "philosopher of pessimism." He claimed, "My character is inherited from my father, and my wisdom is inherited from my mother." The Wisdom of Life is Schopenhauer's late work written in 1850, which made him a renowned philosopher worldwide. In this book, he writes in an "elegant style," temporarily setting aside the pessimistic philosophy of will in life, and explores the principles that life should follow from a worldly perspective.
