This selection of his writings on religion, ethics, politics, women and many other themes is taken from Schopenhauer's last work, Parerga and Paralipomena, which he published in 1851. He depicts humanity as locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, each individual absolutely free within a Godless world in which art, morality and self-awareness are our only salvation. This innovative and pessimistic view proved powerfully influential upon philosophy and art, affecting the work of Nietzsche and Wittgenstein among others. 20739 book 1970 Essays and Aphorisms (Penguin Classics) total:233|5:102|4:85|3:38|2:5|1:3| 233 977 380 22 19510 0140442278 9780140442274 226 23 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167254266m/19510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19510.Essays_and_Aphorisms 2 1 false Mon Jun 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 11:06:01 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 13:31:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 19510 0140442278 9780140442274 226 23 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167254266m/19510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19510.Essays_and_Aphorisms 4 1 false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 1995 Mon Jun 25 12:56:13 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 25 14:10:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 19510 0140442278 9780140442274 226 23 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167254266m/19510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19510.Essays_and_Aphorisms 5 0 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Sat Mar 14 11:22:07 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 11:35:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 19510 0140442278 9780140442274 226 23 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167254266m/19510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19510.Essays_and_Aphorisms 5 1 false Sat Jun 28 14:42:21 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 19:29:32 -0700 2008 19510 0140442278 9780140442274 226 23 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167254266m/19510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19510.Essays_and_Aphorisms 4 1 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu May 24 09:16:57 -0700 2007 Thu May 24 09:17:11 -0700 2007 19510 0140442278 9780140442274 226 23 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167254266m/19510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19510.Essays_and_Aphorisms 3 0 true Tue Apr 04 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sun Feb 17 22:40:33 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 22:40:33 -0800 2008 Some deep thoughts, maaaan....
