About this book
The text names the philosopher's father as Heinrich Floris Schopenhauer, a rich merchant of Danzig, where the philosopher was born on the 22nd of February 1788. The text names the philosopher's mother as Johanna Schopenhauer, who won celebrity as a novelist, and his sister as Adele, who also displayed some literary talent.
The text says that Schopenhauer starts with blind will and ends with the flight of the ascetic from the suffering inherent in the world, yet in the intermediate stages makes the world a cosmos and not a chaos. The text says Schopenhauer's calling the non-rational or anti-rational element in the world will helps to make plainer the real problem of evil.
