The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; On Human Nature

Arthur Schopenhauer

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; On Human Nature," the renowned philosopher delves into the intricacies of human existence, exploring themes of desire, suffering, and the inherent nature of humanity. With a distinctive literary style marked by sharp wit and an acerbic tone, Schopenhauer intertwines philosophical rigor with psychological insight, engaging readers through a blend of discourse and personal reflection. Written during a time when Romanticism was flourishing, his essays present a counterpoint, emphasizing realism and pessimism while scrutinizing the underlying motivations that drive human behavior. Arthur Schopenhauer, often considered a precursor to existentialism, draws from a rich tapestry of influences, including Kantian philosophy and Eastern thought. His own tumultuous life experiences, characterized by solitude and a strained relationship with his contemporaries, shaped his views on the darker facets of human nature. Schopenhauer's writings resonate with a profound understanding of the human condition, reflecting a battle against the illusions of idealism prevalent in his era. This volume is a compelling read for those seeking to explore the depths of human psyche through Schopenhauer's trenchant observations. It invites readers to confront uncomfortable truths about existence while providing a fascinating historical perspective, making it essential for both philosophy enthusiasts and casual readers alike.

A Broken Trust - From their pens...

Elizabeth Corbett

Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett was born on the 16th August 1846 at Standishgate, near Wigan. 
After a good education she worked as a journalist for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and went on to become a widespread and popular writer of adventure and society novels. 
As a feminist writer it is a little bizarre that she published as Mrs George Corbett.  Her most ardent feminist work was ‘New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future,’ though other of her works were also similarly themed and dealt with one of the great issues of the day in Victorian society. 
She married George Corbett in Sheffield in 1868.  They went on to have 4 children, of which only 3 survived. 
As a writer she was not overly prolific but was perhaps most admired for her female detectives.  During her literary career Detective books were all the rage and authors of both sexes attempted to bring new and unusual angles of characters and narratives before the voracious public.   
Corbett’s first was in a collection of short stories ‘Adventures of a Lady Detective featuring Dora Bell'.  A later novel introduced a further detective in the guise of Annie Cory. 
Elizabeth Corbett died on in 1930.
