Life and Career
Arthur Schopenhauer was born on 22 February 1788 in Danzig (today Gdańsk, Poland) to a protestant German family of the patrician class.1 When Danzig became a part of Prussia in 1793, he moved with his family to republican Hamburg.
In the late 1790s he spent two years in Le Harve studying French. Early in the 1800s he briefly attended school in Wimbledon, London. In 1803 he travelled through Holland, Britain, France, and other European countries with his parents, with the expectation of eventually becoming a merchant.
However, following his father’s death in 1805 he quit his commercial education and enrolled in the Ernestine Gymnasium, Gotha, in Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.
Four years later he joined the university of Göttingen to study medicine, but in 1810 switched to philosophy. In 1812 he was taking courses on philology and natural philosophy
