作为十九世纪最伟大的哲学家之一，Schopenhauer（1788—1860）认为人类的行为并非由理性决定，而是由“意志”——对肉体存在的盲目且非理性的欲望——所支配。这本选集汇集了他关于宗教、伦理、政治、女性、自杀、书籍及诸多其他主题的论述，摘自Schopenhauer于1851年出版的绝笔之作《Parerga and Paralipomena》。这些篇章描绘了人类深陷善恶之外的挣扎，每个人在没有上帝的世界中享有绝对的自由，而在这个世界里，艺术、道德和自我意识是我们仅有的

……你其实大体上读读叔本华就行。他的哲学大作（对毫无准备的人来说）非常晦涩难懂，但他的随笔写得极好，而且读起来毫无压力。http://www.amazon.com/Essays-and-Aphorisms-Classics-ebook/dp... 顺便说一句：他是对尼采影响最大的哲学家。
…you should probably just read Schopenhauer in general. His philosophical works are very inaccessible (to those unprepared) but his essays are brilliant and casually consumable. http://www.amazon.com/Essays-and-Aphorisms-Classics-ebook/dp... FYI: He was the philosopher who influenced Nietzsche the most.
叔本华写过一篇很棒的随笔叫《论独立思考》（On Thinking for Yourself），探讨的就是这个以及相关的主题。我把它贴在这里供大家参考（出自企鹅经典那本优秀的译作《人生的智慧与箴言》）：论独立思考 1——正如最大的图书馆如果杂乱无章，其效用还不如一个藏书不多但摆放整齐的书库；同样，哪怕你积累了海量的知识，如果不加……
There's a great essay by Schopenhauer called "On Thinking for Yourself" which deals with this and related themes. I'll post it here for your benefit (from the great Penguin translation titled "Essays and Aphorisms": On Thinking for Yourself 1-- As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far…
……光凭文字水平就值得一读。对我来说，他的作品能唤起一种数学般的美感。我建议先对康德、佛教和印度教有个基本了解，然后读他的《人生的智慧与箴言》（Essays and Aphorisms），接着读《作为意志和表象的世界》。雅克·埃吕尔（Jacques Ellul）的《宣传：人类态度的形成》（Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes）是我读过的把现代媒体环境中的人类体验阐释得最好的一本书。……
…for the quality of writing alone. For me, his works evoke the experience of mathematical beauty. I would recommend gaining a basic understanding of Kant, Buddhism, Hinduism, and then reading his work "Essays and Aphorisms," followed by "The World as Will and Idea." "Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes" by Jacques Ellul is the book I have read that best explains the human experience in the modern media environment.…

……觉得每个人在琢磨自己是怎么思考的时候，都该好好反思一下这个问题，就好像他们真的能完全掌控自己的思想一样。“人固然可以做他想做的事，但无法决定他想要什么。”——阿瑟·叔本华，《人生的智慧与箴言》
…think everyone should ponder this, when thinking about how they think, like as if they are the one thinking at all. "Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills.” ― Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays and Aphorisms
