The Studies In Pessimis is written by Arthur Schopenhauer. The Essays that are being provided here are an additional selection from Schopenhauers Parerga that have been gathered under a title that is not present in the original. The first essay is primarily a translation of the philosophers observations found in the section titled Night Reflections on the Lesson of the Death of the World, as well as excerpts from another portion titled Night Reflections on the Lesson of the Bejahung and Verneinung of the Will to Life. Such omissions as the author have made are primarily motivated by the wish to avoid restating arguments that readers of the other volumes in this series are already familiar with. The Dialogue on Immortality summarizes ideas that were extensively discussed in the philosophers major book and again in the Parerga. The chapter of the original with the same title as this and the preceding volume is almost finished with the psychological observations. The essay about women shouldnt be read as a joke. It conveys Schopenhauers strong opinions, and as a perceptive observer of humanitys flaws, he should be given a chance to speak on a topic that is currently generating a lot of discussion among us.
