Ilustration Concering Books On the Suffering of the World

Nachträge zur Lehre vom Leiden der Welt = On the Suffering of the World, Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation, wherein he characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind and insatiable metaphysical will.
The first essay in the Studies in Pessimism. A rendering of the philosopher's remarks under the heading of On the Suffering of the World. Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim. It is absurd to look upon the enormous amount of pain that abounds everywhere in the world, and originates in needs and necessities inseparable from life itself, as serving no purpose at all and the result of mere chance. Each separate misfortune, as it comes, seems, no doubt, to be something exceptional; but misfortune in general is the rule.

On the back of the book, it has a short introduction of this series "Penguin Books - Great Ideas":Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them.At least this book is not a calming book to read. It proposed some interesting and weighty questions. One might not agree

Schopenhauer here discusses how happiness is not a state in its own right but rather a state made manifest by the absence of a different state: the state of suffering; in his terms, happiness or goodness has a 'negative' nature and suffering or evil has a 'positive' one.This is better understood in the sense that a shadow is not a thing in itself but rather a thing that is brought into being by the absence or impediment of a source of light. A shadow has a 'negative' nature; it exists only as a

Schopenhauer is a grumpy old misogynist, but he's got some interesting ideas.



This is very dark, and the harsh contrasts it draws between 'man' and 'brute' appear, at first, as much an indulgence of the human ego as a reflection on the human condition. Yet, Schopenhauer's essay twists and turns beautifully, working its way through a body of rhetoric (including the existential ideology of multiple creeds and cultures) to rest in the bowels of human suffering itself- effectively discrediting the assumption that our 'mortal coil' needn't be a state of suffering at all. The

This is a steaming pile of depressive dog shit. Schopey might have tried to transcend his own intellect, a tool he uses to see suffering and pointlessness in all things, but he seems to like being trapped.On page 10, it is as if he were making a contribution to Kafka's Penal Colony: "... children can sometimes seem like innocent delinquints, sentenced not to death but to life, who have not yet discovered what their punishment will consist of." Followed shortly thereafter by suicidal thinking on
