On Human Nature: Essays in Ethics and Politics (Dover Philosophical Classics)

Super insightful, but remember, he doesn't mince words.

Amazing book. Schopenhauer says so much things in so short of a book. He covers state's role as well as individual responsibility about ethical and moral laws. It is very well written and the thought processes and conclusions are very clear. From a very intelligent man who lived between 1700- 1800 we hear of monarchic rule as not being bad which i do not agree with but his argument is very convincing. That is the power of great writers they can explain something that is so disagreeable but render great evidence for it is agreeableness. Must read
