A scarce and unusual publication by Estonian medical and natural science scholar, Carl Johann von Seidlitz(1798–1885), in which he not only critiques Schopenhauer’s intellectual output, but explores his physiognomy - comparing him with notable figures like Kant, Napoleon, Talleyrand, and Schiller. This is an extremely unique Schopenhauer item.
