Caroline Medon
Caroline Medon, real name ''Caroline Wilhelmine Richter'', (3 January 1802 – 6. June 1882Antonius Lux: ''Große Frauen der Weltgeschichte. Tausend Biographien in Wort und Bild''. , Munich 1963, p. 391.) was a German opera singer and stage actress who became known as a lover of Arthur Schopenhauer. Life Caroline Richter came to Berlin around 1819 as a chorister at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden.

Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer ( , ; 22 February 1788 – 21 September 1860) was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work '' The World as Will and Representation'' (expanded in 1844), which characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind noumenal will. Building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant (1724–1804), Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism. He was among the first thinkers in Western philosophy to share and affirm significant tenets of Indian philosophy, such as asceticism, denial of the self, and the notion of the world-as-appearance. His work has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism. Though his work failed to garner substantial attention during his lifetime, Schopenhauer had a posthumous impact across various disciplines, including philosophy, literature, and science. His writing on aesthetics, morality ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
