Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation established his position in philosophy, but it was the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena that made the world pay attention to him. Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life is the essential part of Parerga and Paralipomena. Schopenhauer's philosophy combines mainstream thoughts of the East and the West, which starts with exhortation and practical view of the world and discusses how people should think about wealth, status and fame and how to get the most possible success and happiness. Hu Baihua, the translator of the book, is the disciple of Liang Shih-chiu. He translated the book based on the original German work and two English versions. His translation is precise, smooth and elegant.
