Arthur Schopenhauer for the Modern Era

Praise for my latest book:

‘A pleasure to read and a very good introduction to Schopenhauer’s metaphysics for contemporary readers.’
Matthias Koßler, professor of philosophy, head of the Schopenhauer Research Unit at the University of Mainz and president of the Schopenhauer Society

‘Van Rossum is a true interpreter of the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, in a style that can measure up to that of the master himself.’
Paul Cliteur, emeritus professor of jurisprudence and philosopher

‘A splendid dialogue that may serve as an excellent introduction to Schopenhauer’s doctrine.’
Thomas Regehly, philosopher, archivist of the Schopenhauer Society, and president of the International Jakob Böhme Society

‘A profound analysis of current science and society through the eyes of Schopenhauer that reads like an exciting novel. Written in the form of a dialogue that makes Schopenhauer surprisingly accessible.’
Ronald Meester, publicist and professor of mathematics
