Écrivains et Style - Schopenhauer, Arthur

Résumé :
... Quoi qu'il en soit, il y a chez Schopenhauer autre chose et mieux, nous le savons de reste, que ces parties haineuses et rancuni?res. Tel critique exigeant a pu pr?tendre qu'il ne nous apporte rien qu'on n'ait su avant lui. C'est possible, et lui-m?me a dit que les meilleures choses sont rarement neuves. En tout cas, il renouvelle l'aspect obsol?te des vieilles v?rit?s, et la logique vigoureuse, l'abondance in?puisable de d?monstrations et de preuves avec lesquelles il les r??dite, leur enl?vent leurs rides s?culaires et les font r?appara?tre dans leur primitive fra?cheur...

Biographie:
German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer was born in 1788 and died on September 21, 1860. Although Schopenhauer's work received little attention while he was alive, it had an influence on several fields after his death, including science, literature, and philosophy. Numerous writers and artists have been impacted by his writing on psychology, ethics, and aesthetics. At the age of 88, Arthur Schopenhauer passed away in Paris in 1848. He was born in Danzig, Germany, in 1788 on Heiligegeistgasse. He was the son of Heinrich Floris Schopenhauer (1747-1805) and Johanna Schopenhauer (n?e Trosiener; 1766-1838), who were both descended from affluent German-Dutch aristocratic families. Arthur was brought to Le Havre in 1797 to live with Gr?goire de Bl?simaire's family, a business acquaintance of his father's. In 1811-1812, Schopenhauer studied philosophy at the recently established University of Berlin. Schopenhauer periodically mentioned his wish to get married and start a family when he was living in Berlin. He had an on-and-off relationship with Caroline Richter, who had had numerous lovers and a son out of wedlock. After arriving in Frankfurt, he went through a depressive episode and his health deteriorated. He passed away at home, seated on his sofa, on September 21, 1860, from pulmonary-respiratory failure. He passed away at the age of 72, and a Lutheran preacher officiated at his funeral.
