1819, this booklet contains a collection of arguments and considerations
made by philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer
about love, women, death and other subjects such as art and morality.
The author refers to these issues by analyzing the factors that
influence them in order to reach his own conclusion; thus, for instance, he
argues that the attraction (or love) that arises between two people is nothing
more than nature’s command on both subjects for the sole purpose of
perpetuating the species.
From his view, women are creatures of little understanding and little
talent. Beautiful and useful objects that are good to perform household chores
and can coexist within a herd in such company under the regime of a man.
And death is the one that truncates everything without considering for a
moment how sublime is the task we have devoted to with such passion.
