It contained a series of treatises on philosophy, psychology, anthropology, religion and wisdom in a presentation that captivates the reader, because he does not merely read assertions and abstract proofs, but sees through to a personality whose thoughts arise not only from the head, but from the whole person, and who seeks to prove his views not only through logic, but also through feeling and passion. This character of Schopenhauer's last work and the work of some of his followers, whom the philosopher had already won in the forties, made it possible for him to say of himself in the evening of his life: My time has come. Unnoticed for decades, he became a widely read writer in the second half of the century. As early as 1843, F. Dorguth published a pamphlet entitled \"The False Root of Ideal Realism\", in which he called Schopenhauer \"the first real systematic thinker in the entire history of literature\". This was followed in 1845 by another by the same author: \"Schopenhauer in his truth\". Frauenstädt also worked as a writer to spread Schopenhauer's teachings. He had \"Letters on Schopenhauer's Philosophy\" published in 1854. However, an article by John Oxenford in the \"Westminster Review\" from April 1853, which Otto Lindner had translated and published in the Vossische Zeitung under the title \"Deutsche Philosophie im Auslande\", made a particular impression. In it, Schopenhauer is described as a philosophical genius of the first rank; his depth and wealth of ideas are sought to be proven by reprinting individual passages from his works. Lindner himself became an enthusiastic apostle of Schopenhauer's teachings through the \"Parerga und Paralipomena\", to which he was able to render great service through his position as editor of the Vossische Zeitung. David Asher in particular promoted the understanding of Schopenhauer's ideas on music through essays in German and English journals. And it was these ideas about music that made one of Schopenhauer's most ardent admirers, Richard Wagner, the man who showed the art of music new paths. For him, these ideas were like a new gospel. He saw them as the most profound philosophy of music. The artist, who wanted to express the deepest secrets of existence in musical language, felt a spiritual affinity with the philosopher who declared music to be the image of the will of the world. In December 1854, the sound poet sent the thinker in Frankfurt the text of his \"Ring der Nibelungen\" with the handwritten dedication: \"Out of admiration and gratitude\", shortly after Schopenhauer had refused to visit Wagner in Zurich.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Es brachte eine Reihe von Abhandlungen zur Philosophie, Psychologie, Anthropologie, Religion und Lebensweisheit in einer Darstellung, die den Leser gefangen nimmt, weil er nicht bloß Behauptungen und abstrakte Beweise liest, sondern überall auf eine Persönlichkeit durchblickt, deren Gedanken nicht bloß aus dem Kopfe, sondern aus dem ganzen Menschen entspringen und die nicht bloß durch Logik, sondern auch durch Gefühl und Leidenschaft ihre Ansichten zu beweisen sucht. Dieser Charakter von Schopenhauers letztem Werke und die Arbeit einiger Anhänger, die der Philosoph schon in den vierziger Jahren gewonnen hatte, bewirkten es, daß er am Abend seines Lebens von sich sagen konnte: Meine Zeit ist gekommen. Der jahrzehntelang Unbeachtete wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des Jahrhunderts ein vielgelesener Schriftsteller. Schon 1843 veröffentlichte F. Dorguth eine Schrift: «Die falsche Wurzel des Idealrealismus», worin er Schopenhauer «den ersten realen systematischen Denker der ganzen Literaturgeschichte» nannte. Ihr folgte 1845 eine andere von demselben Verfasser: «Schopenhauer in seiner Wahrheit». Auch Frauenstädt wirkte als Schriftsteller für die Verbreitung der Schopenhauerschen Lehre. Er ließ 1854 «Briefe über die SchopenhauerschePhilosophie» erscheinen. Besonderen Eindruck aber machte ein Artikel John Oxenfords in der « Westminster Review» vom April 1853, den Otto Lindner übersetzen ließ und in der Vossischen Zeitung unter dem Titel «Deutsche Philosophie im Auslande» veröffentlichte. Schopenhauer wird darin als philosophisches Genie ersten Ranges bezeichnet; seine Tiefe und sein Ideenreichtum werden durch Abdruck einzelner Stellen seiner Werke zu beweisen gesucht. Lindner selbst wurde durch die «Parerga und Paralipomena» ein begeisterter Apostel der Schopenhauerschen Lehre, der er durch seine Stellung als Redakteur der Vossischen Zeitung große Dienste leisten konnte. Das Verständnis von Schopenhauers Ideen über Musik förderte besonders David Asher durch Aufsätze in deutschen und englischen Zeitschriften. Und diese Ideen über Musik waren es auch, die denjenigen Mann zu einem von Schopenhauers glühendsten Verehrern machten, der der Tonkunst neue Wege wies: Richard Wagner. Auf ihn wirkten diese Ideen wie ein neues Evangelium. Er sah in ihnen die tiefsinnigste Philosophie der Musik. Der Künstler, der in musikalischer Sprache die tiefsten Geheimnisse des Daseins ausdrücken wollte, fühlte sich geistesverwandt mit dem Philosophen, der die Musik für das Abbild des Weltwillens erklärte. Im Dezember 1854 übersandte der Tondichter dem Denker in Frankfurt den Text seines «Ring der Nibelungen» mit der handschriftlichen Widmung: «Aus Verehrung und Dankbarkeit», nachdem Schopenhauer kurz vorher es abgelehnt hatte, in Zürich Wagner zu besuchen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":404,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/33/06_arthur_schopenhauer/p034"}],"english":["GA 33/06_arthur_schopenhauer/p034"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":404,"en_words":446,"ratio":1.1,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10419,"original_word_count":9688,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":null,"publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Articles/GA033/English/SOL2024/06_Arthur_Schopenhauer.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
