叔本华论人生

ARTHUR SCHOPENHAURER（1788-1860） was a German philosopher known for his pessimism and philosophical clarity. At age 25， he published his doctoral dissertation， On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason， which examined the four separate manifestations of reason in the phenomenal world. Schopenhauer's metaphysical analysis of will， his views on human motivation and desire， and his aphoristic writing style influenced many well-known thinkers including Friedrich Nietzsche， Richard Wagner， Ludwig Wittgenstein， Erwin Schrodinger， Albert Einstein， Sigmund Freud， Otto Rank， Carl Gustav Jung， Leo Tolstoy， and Jorge Luis Borges.
