Comentario
Schopenhauer is one of the few philosophers who can be generally
understood without a commentary. All his theories claim to be drawn direct
from the facts, to be suggested by observation, and to interpret the world as
it is; and whatever view he takes, he is constant in his appeal to the
experience of common life. This characteristic endows his style with a
freshness and vigor which would be difficult to match in the philosophical
writing of any country, and impossible in that of Germany. If it were asked
whether there were any circumstances apart from heredity, to which he
owed his mental habit, the answer might be found in the abnormal
character of his early education, his acquaintance with the world rather than
with books, the extensive travels of his boyhood, his ardent pursuit of
knowledge for its own sake and without regard to the emoluments and
endowments of learning. He was trained in realities even more than in
ideas; and hence he is original, forcible, clear, an enemy of all philosophic
indefiniteness and obscurity; so that it may well be said of him, in the words
of a writer in the Revue Contemporaine, ce n’est pas un philosophe comme les
autres, c’est un philosophe qui a vu le monde.
