Was ist Wirklichkeit? Was ist der Sinn des menschlichen Lebens? Warum leiden wir? In diesem einfachen Büchlein untersucht der international tätige Lehrer Ellis Potter drei grosse Weltanschauungen, welche radikal unterschiedliche Antworten auf diese ewigen Fragen vorschlagen. In verständlicher aber präziser Sprache zeigt uns Potter, dass die drei Weltanschauungen mit ihren unterschiedlichen Hoffnungen, die sie den Menschen anbieten, zutiefst unterschiedliche Auswirkungen haben auf die Wahrnehmung der alltäglichen Wirklichkeit und den Sinn unseres Lebens. Dieses Buch ist eine kurzgefasste und leserfreundliche Sicht auf drei grundlegende Arten, die Wirklichkeit aus östlicher und westlicher Perspektive zu sehen. Es ringt mit der Frage des Leidens und findet Antworten in allen drei Sichtweisen. Es geht respektvoll mit jeder dieser Weltanschauungen um und fesselt die Leser mit tiefen und harten Auseinandersetzungen zu ihrer eigenen Identität und ihrem Weltverständnis. Dieses Buch zu lesen, darüber nachzudenken und es vielleicht zu diskutieren, klärt dem Leser seine eigene Wirklichkeitswahrnehmung. Das Buch basiert auf Vorlesungen des Autors und beinhaltet einen umfangreichen Teil mit Fragen und Antworten aus in diesem Rahmen geführten Diskussionen.

A leading German metaphysician of the 19th century, Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) exerted an influence far beyond the hermetic world of philosophy, with adherents ranging from Richard Wagner and Friedrich Nietzsche to Leo Tolstoy and Thomas Mann. Among Schopenhauer's chief contributions to the field of philosophy are his rejection of the idealism of his contemporaries and his embrace of a practical variety of materialism. He jettisons the traditional philosophic jargon for a brisk, compelling style that employs direct terms to express the metaphysics of the will.In The Wisdom of Life, an essay from Schopenhauer's final work, Parerga und Paralipomena (1851), the philosopher favors individual strength of will and independent, reasoned deliberation over the tendency to act on irrational impulses. He examines the ways in which life can be arranged to derive the highest degree of pleasure and success, presents guidelines to achieving this full and rich manner of living, and advises that even a life well lived must always aspire to grander heights. Abounding in subjects of enduring relevance, Schopenhauer's highly readable work appears here in an excellent translation.
