叔本华早年受惠于东方神秘主义哲学，特立独行，从根本上扭转r自柏拉图乃至康德等经典哲学家对世界的认识，见出人生的荒诞与丑怪，尽管我们由此失去了传统意义上温馨的、合于理式的宇宙，但叔本华标举人类所独有的意志，认为意志独立于时间与空间，人类只有在音乐、文学、艺术等审美活动才能获得解脱，这一观念在很大程度上塑造了尼采、柏格森、托尔斯泰、博尔赫斯等一大批思想家、文学家，直接开启弗洛伊德精神分析学派，影响所及，虽爱因斯坦、薛定谔等世界一流的物理学家亦不能免。叔本华属于一身而兼有思辨与辞采的诗性哲学家，故而其著作在学界和一般大众中均具有广泛的读者。本书选取《人生的智慧》和《论人性》两部著作，是作者有关人生理论的菁华所在。
