«Colloqui» is a collection of conversations by the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, published by BUR Rizzoli in paperback (311 pages, in Italian).
The book brings together Arthur Schopenhauer's conversations, presented for the first time to the Italian reader. In them the philosopher shows a sceptical view of ideologies and established optimism, ironises about the world's miseries and maintains that truth eventually prevails over impostures; a read that aims to make one think and smile.
Edited and translated by Anacleto Verrecchia, with preface and commentaries. Belongs to the BUR Classici moderni collection. Original title: Gesprache.
For those interested in nineteenth-century philosophy and the Italian reception of Schopenhauer, including the more ironic side of his thought.
Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher and writer. He is known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation, which characterizes the phenomenal world as the manifestation of a blind and irrational noumenal will. Building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism.
