The notebook takes its title from the Greek saying «conócete a ti mismo» and was reconstructed by Franco Volpi.
Work originally written in German; this French edition includes a translation by Laurent Férec and a preface by Franco Volpi.
For philosophy readers who want a brief and direct access to Schopenhauer's ideas, through a text of an intimate and practical nature.
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.
