This is the first comprehensive biography of Schopenhauer written in English. Placing him in his historical and philosophical contexts, David E. Cartwright tells the story of Schopenhauer's life to convey the full range of his philosophy. He offers a fully documented portrait in which he explores Schopenhauer's fractured family life, his early formative influences, his critical loyalty to Kant, his personal interactions with Fichte and Goethe, his ambivalent relationship to Schelling, his contempt for Hegel, his struggle to make his philosophy known, and his reaction to his late-arriving fame.

This book is a translation of David Asher’s text New Material by Schopenhauer and about Schopenhauer. Readers who are interested in Schopenhauer the man (and his philosophy) can see, from the 24 letters written to David Asher, clear evidence of the philosopher’s struggle to gain recognition in a Germany where Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel – and their disciples – were the dominant forces. The letters show Schopenhauer, after 30 years of being ignored by the universities in Germany, coming into his own. He is enormously appreciative of the dedicated service of Asher, who seeks out and relays to him all that he can find about the resonance of his work in Germany and abroad. Asher himself, as a Jew, was largely ignored after Schopenhauer’s death. In the book by Lindner and Frauenstädt, Schopenhauer: By him and about him, Asher was dismissively referred to as the “little apostle”, whereas in fact he was the main “apostle”. Apart from the letters he received from Schopenhauer, Asher also includes the essay he published about Schopenhauer’s theory of music, along with a musicologist’s sober assessment of its value. Another essay on the Jewish thinker Salomon Ibn-Gebirol indicates Asher’s conviction that Schopenhauer’s thought is not radically removed from that of Judaism (of a particular kind). A further essay – on individual character – indicates the affinity of Schopenhauer’s thought to that of Kant. The final section of the book gathers material that indicates the reception of Schopenhauer’s philosophy in France, England and Germany.
Arthur Schopenhauer's English Schooling
Originally published in 1988 Arthur Schopenhauer’s English Schooling examines the famous German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, and his image of England and the influences and experiences which formed that image, notably his visit to England in 1803. His philosophy, when he came to formulate it, showed the pervasive influence of his English reading, was riddled with allusions to his three months at Wimbledon School, and was indeed in many ‘English’ style; above all it was a philosophy designed as a refutation of ‘Christianity’ as understood and practised by his English headmaster, who is the invisible bête noire behind it. In the course of the book two major figures who have hitherto been known only by name are identified and their lives related. The book also examines many background figures in Schopenhauer’s English diary and the letters addressed to him in 1803. This book, which is based on a wide variety of hitherto unknown material from many different sources, will permanently modify our view of his philosophy; it also has important implications for educationalists and for all interest in the history of ideas.
