Ces "Aphorismes" – partie du volumineux "Parerga et Paralipomena" – renferment, en dehors de toute préoccupation métaphysique, diverses recettes d'un empirisme éprouvé pour parvenir au bonheur. Schopenhauer y propose de nombreuses maximes de sagesse tout en examinant le comportement de l'homme avec ses semblables: "De ce que l'on a", "De ce que l'on est", "De ce que l'on représente", "De la différence des âges de la vie",…. Sous l'ironie et la satire, les questions les plus variées s'y pressent dans un style limpide. «Je prends ici la notion de la sagesse dans la vie dans son acception immanente, c'est-à-dire que j'entends par là l'art de rendre la vie aussi agréable et aussi heureuse que possible. Cette étude pourrait s'appeler également "l'Eudémonologie"; ce serait donc un traité de la vie heureuse. Certainement les sages de tous les temps ont toujours dit la même chose, et les sots, c'est-à-dire l'incommensurable majorité de tous les temps, ont toujours fait la même chose, savoir le contraire, et il en sera toujours ainsi. Aussi Voltaire dit-il: "Nous laisserons ce monde-ci aussi sot et aussi méchant que nous l'avons trouvé en y arrivant."» – Arthur Schopenhauer. (éditeur)

"A selection of key passage from Aristotle's seminal work the Nicomachean Ethics, which sets out what it means to flourish and live life well"-- "Aristotle's essential guide to human flourishing-the Nicomachean Ethics-in a lively new abridged translationAristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is one of the greatest guides to human flourishing ever written, but its length and style have left many readers languishing. How to Flourish is a carefully abridged version of the entire work in a highly readable and colloquial new translation by Susan Sauvé Meyer that makes Aristotle's timeless insights about how to lead a good life more engaging and accessible than ever before.For Aristotle, flourishing means becoming a good person through practice, and having a life of the mind. To that end, he draws vivid portraits of virtuous and vicious characters, and offers sound practical advice about everything from eating and drinking to managing money, controlling anger, getting along with others, and telling jokes. He also distinguishes different kinds of wisdom that are essential to flourishing and offers an unusual perspective on how to appreciate our place in the universe and our relation to the divine.Omitting Aristotle's digressions and repetitions and overly technical passages, How to Flourish provides connecting commentary that allows readers to follow the continuous line of his thought; it also features the original Greek on facing pages. The result is an inviting and lively version of an essential work about how to flourish and lead a good and happy life"--
