Arthur Schopenhauer: il filosofo della solitudine e perché evitava le persone

Arthur Schopenhauer is one of the most celebrated and most misunderstood philosophers in the history of Western thought. In this in-depth documentary, we retrace the entire human and intellectual journey of the man who dared to define blind will as the secret heart of the world, and who made suffering the starting point of one of the most original philosophies of the nineteenth century. From the wealthy mercantile world of Gdansk and Hamburg where he was born, to the methodical solitude of his final years in Frankfurt, we follow step by step the formation of his character and thought. We recount his childhood, marked by his shopkeeper father and his difficult relationship with his mother, the celebrated writer Johanna Schopenhauer; his youthful journey across Europe, which revealed to him the painful face of existence; his decisive encounter with the philosophy of Kant and Plato; and the birth of his masterpiece, The World as Will and Representation. We clearly explore the fundamental concepts of his system: the world as representation, the will as the hidden essence of all things, his profound connection with Indian wisdom and the Upanishads, and his celebrated vision of art, music, and compassion as paths to liberation from pain. He also recounts his legendary duel with Hegel, his years of complete obscurity, and the glory that came only in the twilight of his life, along with the immense influence his thought had on Nietzsche, Wagner, and Tolstoy. A rigorous and accessible portrait, designed for those who love philosophy, the history of ideas, and great intellectual biographies, in which the most controversial issues are presented in a balanced manner, taking into account the different interpretations.
