Author: Arthur Schopenhauer

About the Author: Arthur Schopenhauer is a German philosopher, usually famous for his pessimism about life as “a pendulum that swings between pain and boredom.” Schopenhauer actually lived alone and immersed for the greater part of his life, but his loneliness or personal suffering was not, as some think, a primary reason for formulating his pessimistic views of life. On the contrary, Schopenhauer’s life – at least in its beginning – was not as bad as we might imagine, and it can be said that many opportunities were available to him to live a quiet academic and bourgeois life that satisfies the masses of people. of modern and ancient languages, as he went to dance and theater parties in his youth, His mother Joanna also set up a salon attended by many intellectuals, including the great German poet Goethe, but Arthur was constantly at odds with his mother, especially after his father’s death. Schopenhauer later obtained his doctorate from the University of Berlin, and he was destined to have a quiet teaching career had he not chosen – stubbornly, courageous and perhaps naive – to give his lectures at the same time during which the most prominent German philosopher at the time, Georg Hegel, was giving his lectures, no one listened to Schopenhauer Who decided to retire from teaching and devote himself to writing. Schopenhauer offered his extremely insightful views on many issues, from epistemology and philosophy of science to philosophy of ethics and art, and he was careful in his thinking, following the example of the German philosopher Kant the “Great” as he liked to describe him, particularly in his strict self-criticism of his ideas. He also remained loyal to philosophy, resenting those who make it an “instrument of state purposes from above, and personal purposes from below”.

Sorprende que a 140 años de la muerte de Schopenhauer aún existan textos inéditos de su obra y de tal valía como los que, en un trabajo minucioso casi detectivesco, reconstituye el catedrático de filosofía Franco Volpi en un pequeño manual de filosofía práctica: El arte de ser feliz. Se trata de una auténtica joya hasta ahora escondida en el legado del filósofo, en la que se nos invita a educar nuestro carácter a través de reglas de conducta que nos ayuden a evitar las penurias y los golpes del destino.

Ya durante el tiempo en el que residió en Berlín gustaba de redactar breves textos y apuntes para su uso personal; así nació, por ejemplo, El arte de tener razón (Erística), publicado póstumamente a partir de su legado. Las cincuenta reglas para la vida que incluye se redactaron en diversos momentos y se encuentran dispersas en distintos volúmenes y carpetas. Su estado incompleto y el reconocido pesimismo de Schopenhauer son las razones principales por las que hasta ahora nadie sospechó un «Arte de ser feliz» entre los escritos del filósofo. Pero precisamente desde la convicción pesimista de que la vida de los seres humanos no depara más que decepciones, dolor y aburrimiento, el filósofo nos invita a servirnos de unas herramientas valiosas que nos brinda la naturaleza: los dones del ingenio y de la prudencia práctica. Aunque nuestro carácter no parece modificable, podemos educarlo con reglas de conducta que nos ayuden a evitar las penurias y los golpes del destino. En 1814, a los 26 años, el joven filósofo encontró una formulación casi definitiva para la intuición fundamental en la que basar su sabiduría de la vida, es decir, la concepción negativa de la felicidad entendida como mera ausencia del dolor.
