Dr. Amal Ali Falhi presents an insightful comparative analysis of the profound ethical philosophies of two seminal, yet often pessimistic, thinkers: the Arab poet-philosopher Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri and the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. This study meticulously examines the parallels and divergences in their views on morality, suffering, asceticism, and the human condition. Falhi reveals surprising connections between these two figures, separated by centuries and cultures but united by a deeply critical perspective on life. This work offers a compelling exploration of their shared intellectual heritage and their enduring relevance to modern ethical discourse.
