Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher known for his atheistic pessimism and philosophical clarity, living from 1788 to 1860. At age 25 he published his doctoral dissertation, On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, examining whether reason alone can unlock answers about the world. His most influential work, The World as Will and Representation, emphasized man's basic motivation, which he called will.
