書籍簡介

阿圖爾·叔本華（Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788-1860）是19世紀最富創見與挑釁性的思想家之一。他窮其一生，傾盡全力，以求理解人生活於一個苦難與死亡無處不在的世界中的意義。在他力圖解開“永困人心的存在之謎”的求索之路上，叔本華幾乎對人類存在的各個維度都進行了探究，逐漸形成了一套論調陰鬱、令人信服的世界觀。而他這一世界觀，無論是對當代文學和音樂，還是對當代哲學和心理學，都產生了深遠的影響。

本書是第一本用英文所寫的詳盡全面的叔本華傳記。為展現出其哲學的全貌，戴維·E. 卡特賴特將叔本華置於其歷史及哲學背景之中，講述了他一生的故事。卡特賴特提供給讀者的完全是一幅紀實性畫卷。在這幅畫卷中，卡特賴特探討了叔本華破碎的家庭生活，他早年所受的對於其個性形成至關重要的諸多影響，他對於康德帶有批判性的忠誠，他同費希特及歌德的個人交往，他同謝林的頗為矛盾的關係，他對於黑格爾的蔑視，他為使自己的哲學為世人所知所做的抗爭，以及他對於自己遲來名聲的反應。出現在這部傳記中的叔本華，是一位血肉豐滿的哲學家，他的哲學對於眾多不同領域中的重要人物，諸如塞繆爾·貝克特、博爾赫斯、涂爾干、弗洛伊德、托馬斯·哈代、托馬斯·曼、尼采，以及維特根斯坦，均產生了重大影響。

This is the first comprehensive biography of Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) written in English.

In his quest to solve 'the ever-disquieting riddle of existence', Schopenhauer explored almost every dimension of human existence, developing a darkly compelling worldview that found deep resonance in contemporary literature, music, philosophy, and psychology. This is the first comprehensive biography of Schopenhauer written in English. Placing him in his historical and philosophical contexts, David E. Cartwright tells the story of Schopenhauer's life to convey the full range of his philosophy. He offers a fully documented portrait in which he explores Schopenhauer's fractured family life, his early formative influences, his critical loyalty to Kant, his personal interactions with Fichte and Goethe, his ambivalent relationship with Schelling, his contempt for Hegel, his struggle to make his philosophy known, and his reaction to his late-arriving fame.
