«Metafisica dell'amore sessuale. L'amore inganno della natura» is the philosophical essay by Arthur Schopenhauer (Rizzoli, paperback, 176 pages, in Italian).
Schopenhauer analyzes sexual love as a tyrannical and metaphysical passion that can drag individuals even to death. He argues that the impulse does not seek the good of the one who feels it, but the perpetuation of the species: nature uses attraction and desire as a deception so that we fulfill its end without reason intervening.
Edition edited by Anacleto Verrecchia. Part of the BUR Classici moderni series. Original title: Metaphysik der Geschlechtsliebe.
For readers interested in nineteenth-century philosophy and the work of Arthur Schopenhauer.
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.
