Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher renowned for his work “The World as Will and Representation.” He formulated an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system, challenging German idealism in favor of transcendental idealism. Schopenhauer was one of the earliest Western philosophers to incorporate elements of Indian philosophy, including asceticism and the rejection of self. His philosophical stance was marked by pessimism and left a lasting impact across disciplines. His ideas on aesthetics, morality, and psychology remain influential among scholars and artists.
