"Die Kunst, Recht zu behalten": Schopenhauers Argumentationstechnik, die einzig dem Zweck dient, ohne Rücksicht auf die Wahrheit aus Streitgesprächen siegreich hervorzugehen. Arthur Schopenhauer: geboren am 22.2.1788 in Danzig; gestorben am 21.9.1860 in Frankfurt/Main, entstammte einer patristischen Kaufmannsfamilie. Die ungeliebte Kaufmannslehre in Hamburg brach er nach dem Tod des Vaters (1805) ab und übersiedelte zur Mutter nach Weimar, wo diese einen literarischen Salon führte und bald zur berühmten Schriftstellerin avancierte. Seit 1809 studierte er in Göttingen Naturwissenschaften, ab 1811 in Berlin Philosophie.

Mortimer Adler stood on the metaphysical and moral teachings of Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas to convey to his readers an understanding of the nature of Aristotle’s rhetoric as an essential means for conveying to readers of his time and to posterity a specific understanding of philosophy as an essential humanistic educational tool that might, someday, be able to issue in global peace!

This book offers what may with reservations be described as a theory of the mind. But it does not give new information about minds. We possess already a wealth of information about minds, information which is neither derived from, nor upset by, the arguments of philosophers. The philosophical arguments which constitute this book are intended not to increase what we know about minds, but to rectify the logical geography of the knowledge which we already possess.
