Description
Summary:The essay review examines three current editions of Arthur Schopenhauer's early works. These editions reveal a departure from his more academically-oriented early work towards the more popular late work. The extent to which these new editions accommodate current Schopenhauer research is discussed, with a focus on moving beyond the biased interpretations of the 19th and 20th centuries. Furthermore, the essay argues that Schopenhauer's early work is still valuable today for several reasons. Stylistically, the early works prevent one-dimensional readings that reduce Schopenhauer to stereotypical positions and roles such as irrationalism, pessimism, and negation of life. This can be seen in the emphasis on logic, philosophy of science, philosophy of law, ethics and others. Additionally, the review argues that Schopenhauer's holistic and organic system provides readers with considerable freedom in making judgments, while also revealing connections between theoretical, practical philosophy, and aesthetics that are often overlooked by mere subject-specific philosophising.
