Arthur Schopenhauer is a German irrationalist philosopher. Schopenhauer's teachings, the main points of which are outlined in the work "The World as Will and Representation" and other writings, are often referred to as "pessimistic philosophy." 
"The Art of Winning Arguments" is... a guide to conducting disputes, written in the 19th century and still relevant in the 21st century. In this work, Schopenhauer aims for victory in argumentation and provides specific recommendations for achieving it step by step. According to the author, to win an argument, it is not necessary to be actually right — one only needs to use the right techniques. He lists more than thirty so-called tricks.
