On Human Nature - Essays in Ethics and Politics

Informationen zum Autor German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) reacted with pessimism to his idealistic predecessors, contending that human motivations derive from basic desires that can never be satisfied. His writings on psychology, ethics, and politics influenced such latter-day thinkers as Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Freud. Klappentext Drawn from "Parerga" and posthumously published works, these six essays offer an accessible approach to the author's philosophy. Topics include government, free will and fatalism, character, moral instinct, and ethics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Human NatureGovernmentFree-will and FatalismCharacterMoral InstinctEthical Reflections
