Excerpt from The Free Review, Vol. 6: A Monthly Magazine; April to September, 1896
Among the harsher critics of women in this century, Arthur Schopenhauer, the philosopher of Pessimism, stands pre-eminent. His essays On Women and The Metaphysics of Love have been placed upon the index of women as the heretical ravings of a carping and unchivalrous critickin. Very few women have read these disquisitions, and probably an infinitely small proportion of these are in agreement with the writer's contentions. Women have, however, been more mordant and ruthless than men in their judgments upon women. Lady Mary Wortley Montague's solace for being a woman was that she would not have to marry one; Mary Wollstonecraft said that the talk of schoolmisses and women living in communities was almost on a par with the double meanings which shake the convivial table when the glass has circulated freely Madame de Stael had not a very high esteem for her sex; a Madame de whose Opinion is quoted by Monseigneur Dupanloup, in his Studious Women remarked that woman is a weak, ignorant, timid, idle being, who has violent passions with small ideas, a bundle of caprice and inconsecutiveness; a precious combination of hopefulness and cruelty and Mrs. Lynn Linton is peculiarly incisive in her diatribes upon advanced women of the present day. Schopenhauer is not more severe than some of these. His essay On Women is an admirable piece of literary workmanship; and if he is swayed by bias in his examination of the feminine character, still the thesis is that of a cautious and severely-trained meta physician.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complicated dynamics between men and women as seen through the lens of the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. The author delves into Schopenhauer's personal life, marked by a conflicted relationship with his parents and minimal romantic fulfillment, to show how it informed his writings on the subject of love. The book highlights the misogynistic undertones in Schopenhauer's work, particularly his essay "On Women." It discusses Schopenhauer's belief that women are intellectually inferior to men and primarily exist to serve as mothers and wives. The author provides historical context for Schopenhauer's views, showing that they reflect the prevailing attitudes toward women during his time. The book also tackles the nuances of Schopenhauer's philosophy, particularly his pessimism and belief in the futility of life. By shedding light on Schopenhauer's perspective, this book offers insight into the enduring debate on gender roles and the nature of human relationships.
