Translated by Mrs. Rudolf Dircks

El lector de Schopenhauer termina creyendo que para él realmente la vida no fue (y por lo tanto no es nunca) agradable, que el descubrimiento del cuerpo como principio trascendental no derivó en un ser-cuerpo que vivenciara la simpatía que relaciona todo lo que está vivo sino en un ser-cuerpo que exhibe la indefensión, el desamparo, el desasosiego que soporta todo lo viviente. Pensamiento lacerante que se hizo carne en la vida de Schopenhauer.

The Art of Controversy (or The Art of Being Right) is a collection of debate formulas written in 1831 by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In this book, the author presents methods of gaining an unfair advantage in a debate and thereby being right even if you are wrong. Schopenhauer is a champion in the dialectical argument; in his view, dialectics is wrongly neglected by philosophers in favor of logic. This work is a handbook of modern debaters like Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The question of what happiness actually is has puzzled humankind since time immemorial. After all, it was one of the first issues that the early Greek philosophers turned to. They called it eudaimonia, a term that encompasses prosperity and good fortune as well as happiness.The question troubled Arthur Schopenhauer, too, and in his 1851 philosophical essay "The Wisdom of Life" he presents his own thoughts on the matter. He attempts both to define what happiness is and to ascertain how life should be lived so as to achieve it, how one should order his life so as to obtain the greatest possible amount of pleasure and success. According to him, that is the only way to gain the wisdom of life.

Publicados en 1851 como núcleo central del primer tomo de Parerga y paralipomena, los Aforismos sobre el arte de vivir son en palabras de Franco Volpi, preparador de esta edición, una de las obras maestras mas afortunadas del pensamiento occidental. En sus paginas, y despues de que hubiera plasmado en El mundo como voluntad y representacion una ferrea metafisica del pesimismo, Arthur Schompenhauer (1788-1860) ofrece un compendio de filosofia practica en el que recoge doctrinas, recomendaciones y advertencias para desenvolverse mejor en la vida y evitar sus trampas y contrariedades, un arte de prudencia, en suma, que se puede considerar como una estetica de la existencia. Y es que es justamente la concepcion de esta como espacio que oscila entre el dolor y el aburrimiento lo que impulso a Schopenhauer a considerar la filosofia como una forma de sabiduria practica capaz de modificar la manera de ser de uno mismo y de proporcionarle su forma mejor, a la vez que como un instrumento propio para afrontar las adversidades y para ser moderadamente felices sobreponiendonos a ellas.

El carácter sarcástico y la lengua viperina de que hacía gala Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1869), tan ajenos a la filosofía académica, le dieron fama de fustigador de prejuicios, costumbres y dogmas. Pero esta imagen popular no ha logrado eclipsar la enorme profundidad y rigor de su pensamiento. Schopenhauer, guru del pesimismo humanista, estaba convencido de que la filosofia surge del dolor de la existencia, dolor que se mitiga con una vida serena y meditativa. Parerga y Paralipomena (1851) algo asi como fragmentos y añadidos se publica por primera vez integra en España, segun la edicion de ultima mano del filosofo. La obra con la que Schopenhauer alcanzo fama y reconocimiento reune una heterogenea miscelanea de pensamientos que tratan de desarrollar en muy diversos campos la idea central recogida en su obra principal: El mundo como voluntad y representacion (1819). El volumen se divide en dos partes. La primera incluye una serie de ensayos, como su historia de las teorias sobre lo ideal y lo real, fragmentos sobre la historia de la filosofia, o su popular opusculo Aforismos sobre el arte de saber vivir, una filosofia practica de la vida para el individuo moderno. En la segunda encontraremos una serie de anotaciones y aforismos que recogen desde textos puramente filosoficos hasta opiniones y teorias sobre muy diversos temas (la religion, el suicidio, los colores...) Para el filosofo e historiador austriaco Egon Friedell, el pensamiento de Schopenhauer, mas que un sistema filosofico, constituye una obra de arte.
