Author
Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) entwickelte eine Philosophie, die zeitgenössische Annahmen der Erkenntnistheorie, Metaphysik, Ästhetik und Ethik richtungsweisend und vorgreifend mit empiristischen, hermeneutischen und phänomenologischen Elementen verbindet. Sein Denken wirkt weit über die Philosophie hinaus in Literatur, Musik und Bildender Kunst.
