This book presents text in Spanish. Though the relationship between philosophers and women has historically been a conflicted one, the appearance of talented women in the arts and in philosophy during the last few years has, to a large extent, debunked the prejudice of philosophy as an exclusively masculine domain. Nevertheless, Arthur Schopenhauer vehemently opposed the shift towards gender equality within philosophical writing and thought, and the result of his resistance is presented in this poignant treatise on the passion and vision he finds within philosophy alongside descriptions of his tumultuous relationships with women.
