The World as Will and Idea - Exploring Reality and the Human Experience: A Philosophical Journey

Arthur Schopenhauer

Tradutor John Kemp, Richard Burdon Haldane

Sinopse

In "The World as Will and Idea," Arthur Schopenhauer presents a profound philosophical treatise that intertwines metaphysics with aesthetics. Schopenhauer's literary style is characterized by its rigorous argumentation and accessible prose, as he explores the duality of the world as both representation and will. Drawing on Kantian philosophy, he articulates a view of the human condition steeped in pessimism, emphasizing the incessant striving of the will as a source of suffering. The work is not only a critique of rationalism and optimistic metaphysics but also an early exploration of the idea that art and aesthetic experience offer a temporary reprieve from the pains of existence, a theme resonant in both Romantic and existential thought. Schopenhauer, a significant figure in 19th-century philosophy, grew up in a culturally rich environment that greatly influenced his intellectual development. A seasoned thinker working against the backdrop of German idealism, his articulation of the will as a driving force behind human action reflects both his personal struggles and a broader critique of contemporary society. His pessimistic worldview laid the foundation for later existentialist and psychoanalytic thought, positioning him as a pivotal precursor to modern philosophical inquiry. For readers seeking to grapple with the depths of human experience, "The World as Will and Idea" is an essential text that challenges conventional perceptions of reality and existence. Schopenhauer's incisive insights and eloquent prose invite readers to reflect critically on their own lives, making this work an indispensable companion for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or the arts.

Primatology Ethics and Trauma

Robert Ingersoll, Antonina Anna...

It has been fifty years since the first language experiments on chimpanzees. Robert Ingersoll is well known for being one of the main carers and best friend of the chimpanzee, Nim Chimpsky, but there were other chimpanzees in the University of Oklahoma's Institute for Primate Studies, including Washoe, Moja, Kelly, Booee, and Onan, who were taught sign language in the quest to discover whether language is learned or innate in humans. Antonina Anna Scarnà's expertise in language acquisition and neuroscience offers a vehicle for critical evaluation of those studies. 
 
 
 
Ingersoll and Scarnà investigate how this research failed to address the emotional needs of the animals. It is time to consider the research from a different perspective, examining the neglect and cruelty that was inflicted on those animals in the name of psychological science. This book re-examines those cases, addressing directly the suffering and traumatic experiences endured by the captive chimpanzees, in particular the female chimpanzee, Washoe, and her resultant inability to be a competent mother. 
 
 
 
This book discusses the unethical nature of the studies in the context of recent research on trauma and offers a specific and direct psychological message, proposing to finally close the door on the language side of these chimpanzee studies.
