In this book, Schopenhauer expounds his philosophy of pessimism, which is characterized by a belief in the inherent suffering and futility of human existence. Schopenhauer argues that life is full of pain and that our desires and ambitions only lead to disappointment and frustration. He also discusses the nature of happiness, the role of art and aesthetics in human life, and the importance of self-awareness and introspection. Schopenhauer's writing is characterized by its clarity, wit, and incisive critique of contemporary society. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or the human condition.But all this contributes to increase the measures of suffering in human life out of all proportion to its pleasures; and the pains of life are made much worse for man by the fact that death is something very real to him. The brute flies from death instinctively without really knowing what it is, and therefore without ever contemplating it in the way natural to a man, who has this prospect always before his eyes. So that even if only a few brutes die a natural death, and most of them live only just long enough to transmit their species, and then, if not earlier, become the prey of some other animal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
