This anthology by Arthur Schopenhauer, edited by Javier Fernández Retenaga and José Mardomingo, is not a theory about invective or a manual for insulting, but a sample of the art of insulting. The selection includes direct insults, criticisms, censures, and reprobations extracted from the work of the German thinker, known for his vehemence and malicious intelligence. Readers will appreciate the style and intelligence applied to the often merciless disqualification of everything divine and human, characteristic of Schopenhauer's pessimistic thought.
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.
