Schopenhauer

1 It’s where Zeno first heard of Socrates, and where Nietzsche learned of Schopenhauer.

2 Schopenhauer’s theories, like Wagner’s operas, could not be described as succinct, and they are consequently hard to summarise briefly, but the idea that caught Wagner’s imagination was that we humans are essentially irrational, emotional animals.

3 Yvonne was Jewish, though I did not know that at the time, and I remember talking to Martin when I heard of her suicide – a self-slaughter I only managed to resolve by interrogating Schopenhauer.

4 Schorske writes, “Klimt’s version of the universe is Schopenhauer’s—the World as Will, as blind energy in an endless round of meaningless parturience, love and death.”

5 Malevich called it Suprematism but its roots are to be found in Arthur Schopenhauer's 1818 text The World as Will and Representation.

6 One such example is art, to which Schopenhauer assigned a certain potential for release from will.

7 Besides, Schopenhauer has also profoundly influenced modern aesthetic thought in China.

不仅如此, 叔本华对中国近、现代美学思想的影响也是广泛而深远的.

8 But O'Shaughnessy had first turned to the discipline through a love of Arthur Schopenhauer.

9 Sacks goes on to quote Schopenhauer approvingly: "Music expresses only the quintessence of life and of its events, never these themselves."

10 Schopenhauer was a forefather of a school of thought that philosophers loosely call “pessimism.”

11 At its heart lies a theory Wagner drew from Schopenhauer, from Buddhism and from Christianity, that self-enlightenment, or personal redemption, is achieved by denying oneself gratification, resisting temptation and seeking an understanding of fellow-suffering.

12 Schopenhauer believed that people were driven by unachievable desires; the chasm between what they want and what they can get is immiserating.

13 Early on Matt explains to Andrew, CliffsNotes style, Schopenhauer’s concept of will, vaguely paving the way for the actions and themes to come.

14 Which attracted me was Schopenhauer's explanation of people's shyness associated with sex.

其间我注意到了叔本华对于人面对性行为时的“害羞 ” 情感所作的解释.

15 Beginning by invoking the figure of Miss Havisham – a sort of muse of heartbreak – Raine ensures that his characters are well-drilled in the canon, citing Ezra Pound or Schopenhauer as the occasion requires.

16 And yet each of us is on some level acquainted with the darkness Schopenhauer was putting his finger on.

17 He was part of a course called "greats", which included a few philosophers such as Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard not taught by philosophy departments, along with a far larger number of "creative" writers.

18 I resonate greatly with the views of Schopenhauer, Voltaire, Nietzsche, Freud.

我非常认同叔本华 、 伏尔泰 、 尼采 、 弗洛伊德的观点.

19 He surprised me with his intimate knowledge of Kierkegaard and Schopenhauer.

他对克尔恺郭尔与叔本华的深刻了解让我很吃惊。

20 As Schopenhauer does , Kierkegaard criticizes traditional rationalism and Christian theology and initiates modern humanism.

克尔凯郭尔和叔本华一道批判了传统的理性主义和基督教神学,开创了现代人本主义.
