«Epistolario de Weimar» is the selection of letters by Johanna, Arthur Schopenhauer and Goethe, published by Valdemar in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
The letters bring together the voices of Arthur, his mother Johanna and Goethe in Weimar at the beginning of the 19th century. They show the young philosopher at odds with his mother and eager to gain Goethe's support as a mentor; three dominant personalities who clash without ever understanding each other, within the framework of German Romanticism.
The book was published in 1999 as number 109 of El Club Diógenes de Valdemar; the correspondence spans from 1806 to 1819.
For readers of epistolary works interested in German Romanticism and the figure of Schopenhauer.
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.
