This collection of thirty-one essays written by contemporary Schopenhauer scholars has six sections: (1) Influences on Schopenhauer, (2) Schopenhauer’s Metaphysics of Will and Empirical Knowledge, ...(3) Aesthetic Experience, Music, and the Sublime, (4) Human Meaning, Politics, and Morality, (5) Religion and Schopenhauer’s Philosophy, and (6) Schopenhauer’s Influence. Some of the issues addressed concern the extent to which Schopenhauer adopted ideas from his predecessors versus how much was original and visionary in his central claim that reality is a blind, senseless “will,” the effectiveness of his philosophy in the field of scientific explanation and extrasensory phenomena, the role of beauty and sublimity in his outlook, the fundamental role of compassion in his moral theory, the Hindu, Christian, and Buddhistic aspects of his philosophy, the importance of asceticism in his views on how best to live, how pessimism and optimism should be understood, and his impact on psychoanalysis, as well as upon music, the visual arts, and literature. The collection is an internationally constituted work that reflects upon Schopenhauer’s philosophy with authors from a variety of backgrounds, presently working in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, and the United States.

"Beginning with a look at his early life and the people and circumstances that shaped his thinking, the book situates Schopenhauer's philosophical work within the context of these formative years. It ...examines Schopenhauer's aesthetic and moral theories, his affinity toward Asian mysticism and Christianity, as well as his ideas about the sublime, consciousness, empathy, humanity, and "Will." This volume focuses on the composition and structure of Schopenhauer's philosophy and explores his intellectual links to Hegel, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein."--BOOK JACKET.

Schopenhauer’s pessimism, aesthetic contemplation and the value of artAccording to Schopenhauer, the aesthetic contemplation of art temporarily offers some kind of redemption: art is valuable because ...of its liberating effect on the spectator’s will, i.e. his or her urges, strivings and desires. He also acknowledges that works of art have cognitive value, since they offer insight into timeless Platonic Ideas. I argue that Schopenhauer is right to acknowledge the cognitive value of art, but that his aesthetic Platonism is flawed and thus cannot offer a solid foundation for the envisaged redemption, let alone for human happiness. By confronting Schopenhauer’s aesthetic theory with some aspects of Kant’s, I aim to show that by disentangling Schopenhauer’s theory from Platonism and focusing on his psychology of aesthetic contemplation we can provide a more plausible view of aesthetic contemplation, which is compatible with Schopenhauerian pessimism as well as with the possibility of human happiness.

Este artículo tiene como objeto analizar las convergencias, divergencias e influencias de Arthur Schopenhauer sobre Leopoldo Alas “Clarín” en dos facetas de su carrera literaria e intelectual. Si ...bien la crítica ha estudiado tal influjo, este estudio busca profundizar más al respecto y destacar la función del sufrimiento humano en el credo estético de Alas; su adopción y asimilación parcial. Para elucidar el fundamento de tal temática, se ha analizado la obra periodística de Alas que trata sobre temas filosóficos. Esta herramienta hermeneútica permite establecer los postulados fundamentales del pensamiento filosófico clariniano y determinar los puntos de contacto iniciales. Asimismo, se argumenta que el espiritualismo clariniano de los años noventa presenta una influencia ecléctica, en la cual Schopenhauer ocupa un lugar eminente, en particular su estética y la manifestación del sufrimiento. Este artículo busca determinar el principio artístico de este gran tema clariniano, el cual tiene una función metafísica.
That Schopenhauer's view of Buddhism influenced Wagner's and Nietzsche's Buddhism seems a commonplace among scholars. However, there seem to be no studies which actually demonstrated this, showing ...how Schopenhauer was their main source of Buddhism compared to the other Buddhist texts they read. In this article, I aim to fill this gap, analysing Wagner's and Nietzsche's Buddhism in the light of the sources of Buddhism they read. This will allow me to demonstrate how Schopenhauer was the main source of Buddhism for both Wagner and Nietzsche, having a deep and long-lasting impact on their conceptions of Buddhism.
Schopenhauer repeatedly claims that all pleasure is negative, and this view seems to play key roles throughout his work. Nonetheless, many scholars have argued that Schopenhauer actually acknowledges ...certain positive pleasures. Two major arguments have been offered for this reading, one focused on the link between Schopenhauer's view of pleasure and Plato's, and one focused on Schopenhauer's distinction between two components of aesthetic pleasure. I argue that neither way of motivating the positive pleasure reading succeeds. Both overlook a key aspect of Schopenhauer's account: namely, his suggestion that there are two distinct kinds of negative pleasure, pleasures of satisfaction and pleasures of distraction. When Schopenhauer claims that all pleasure is negative, he means it.
Emily Thomas's seminal book The Meaning of Travel has brought the philosophy of travel back into the public eye in recent years. Thomas has shown that the topic of travel can be approached from ...numerous different perspectives, ranging from the historical to the conceptual‐analytical, to the political or even social‐philosophical perspectives. This article introduces another perspective, which Thomas only indirectly addresses, namely the argumentation‐theoretical perspective. It is notable that contemporary philosophy of travel lacks the nineteenth‐century approach of using diagrams and maps to examine arguments for and against travel. Since this approach starts with Schopenhauer, we first introduce his argument maps, discuss their advantages and disadvantages, and argue that a modified version is suitable to visualize and analyze arguments for and against traveling as presented in Thomas's work.
This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Schopenhauer's Philosophy contains a chronology, an introduction, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 ...cross-referenced entries on all of Schopenhauer's books, significant philosophical ideas and concepts.
...the Handbook helpfully catalogs the many contributions to strategy formulation theory, including SWOT analysis, the BCG growth/share matrix, the Five Forces Model, PESTEL, core competency, RBV ...(resource-based view) and blue ocean strategy. The Handbook’s Table 1 summarizes the survey’s important findings: Because strategy means different things to different people, it is essential to define key terms such as strategic planning, strategic management and strategic thinking, as well as each element of a firm’s strategic management system including mission, vision, values, goals, strategy and measures. Multiple internal and external participants may be involved in the strategy process, including senior executives, an internal strategy team, external strategy consultants, the board of directors, middle management and employees, key customers and activist shareholders.
