Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher who lived from the 22nd of February 1788 to the 21st of September 1860. His seminal book, first in 1818 and expanded in 1844 under the title The World as Will and Representation, in which he posits that the phenomenal world is the result of a noumenal will acting in ignorance, brought him widespread recognition. 

Schopenhauer established an atheistic philosophical and ethical philosophy that rejected the contemporary notions of German idealism. He did this by building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant (1724–1804). He was one of the first philosophers in Western philosophy to share and confirm major ideas of Indian philosophy, such as asceticism, denial of the self, and the concept of the world-as-appearance, and he was among the first intellectuals in Western philosophy to do so. It has been said that his work is a model of how philosophical pessimism should be manifested in the world.

Schopenhauer's work did not receive a significant amount of attention during his lifetime; nonetheless, after his death, his ideas had an impact across a variety of academic fields, including philosophy, literature, and science. His writings on topics such as ethics and psychology have had a significant impact on a large number of intellectuals and artists.
