De quoi il s'agit
Un choix d'essais de Schopenhauer en anglais : sur les femmes, le bruit, l'éducation, le suicide, le style.
Contexte et histoire
Le Schopenhauer essayiste est plus incisif et beaucoup plus lisible que le systématique du Monde comme volonté. Note sur l'édition : Essays of Schopenhauer n'est pas un livre que Schopenhauer ait écrit sous ce nom. C'est un choix de chapitres des Parerga und Paralipomena (1851) fait par l'éditeur anglais, sous un titre de son cru. Le texte est de Schopenhauer ; le livre, non. Ceci est une vieille traduction anglaise, du domaine public. L'original allemand est également au catalogue, et c'est lui qu'il faut citer.

He then threatened to put her out, and carried his threat into execution by seizing her round the waist and putting her out. She screamed, and attempted to return.

Schopenhauer defended his own case, with the result that the action was dismissed. The woman appealed, and Schopenhauer, who was contemplating going to Switzerland, did not alter his plans, so that the appeal was heard during his absence, the judgment reversed, and he was mulcted in a fine of twenty thalers. But the unfortunate business did not end here. Schopenhauer proceeded from Switzerland to Italy, and did not return to Berlin until May 1825. Caroline Marquet renewed her complaints before the courts, stating that his ill-usage had occasioned a fever through which she had lost the power of one of her arms, that her whole system was entirely shaken, and demanding a monthly allowance as compensation. She won her case; the defendant had to pay three hundred thalers in costs and contribute sixty thalers a year to her maintenance while she lived. Schopenhauer on returning to Berlin did what he could to get the judgment reversed, but unsuccessfully.…
