{"product_id":"the-wisdom-of-life-and-counsels-and-maxims-9781573920339","title":"The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims","description":"Nineteenth-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) championed individual strength of will and independent, reasoned deliberation above the irrational impulses that animated most of society. In The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims, two essays from his last work, Parerga und Paralipomena (1851), he discusses how to order our lives to obtain the greatest amount of pleasure and success; then he offers guidelines for living life to its fullest. But for Schopenhauer a life well lived should always reach beyond itself to a higher plane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Schopenhauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Great Books in Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.40w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573920339","brand":"Prometheus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43914227613833,"sku":"9781573920339","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_0f667df8-cf56-4045-b57f-30ca861fe486.jpg?v=1745301844","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-wisdom-of-life-and-counsels-and-maxims-9781573920339","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
