"Essays of Schopenhauer" by Arthur Schopenhauer is a collection of philosophical essays written in the early 19th century. The work reflects Schopenhauer's unique views on a variety of topics such as authorship, noise, education, women, and the emptiness of existence. He approaches these subjects with a critical eye, providing a deep analysis of human nature and the societal constructs around him. The opening of the essays begins with an introduction that provides context about Schopenhauer's life and thought, emphasizing his views on the nature of authorship and style. He distinguishes between writers who create based on personal reflection and those who write merely for monetary gain. Schopenhauer argues that authentic writing stems from deep engagement with one's subject matter, while superficial writing results from external motivations or a lack of genuine thought.
