Very short introduction to Schopenhauer, though not much about
his actual philosophy. Primarily covers his life, his bitter relationship with his
mother, and his many affairs. Too bad, his ideas influenced Nietzsche, Wagner, Freud,
and Wittgenstein, among others. While I enjoyed it well enough, and I learned about
Schopenhauer’s life, I don’t understand the elements of his thought any better.
One good thing about the book is that it really did take only 90 minutes to read.
