About this book

One single thought, Schopenhauer says in his first preface, is all this book sets out to give, though he found no shorter way of giving it than the whole work. The first of three volumes in the Haldane and Kemp translation holds four books: the world as idea, the world as will, the Platonic Idea and art, and the assertion and denial of the will to live. The German title is Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, and the translators explain why they render Vorstellung as idea.

About the author

Arthur Schopenhauer - BDeBooks
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a German philosopher whose bleak, will-centered metaphysics and elegant prose influenced Nietzsche, Wagner, Tolstoy, and Freud. Long ignored in his lifetime, he found fame only in his final years, and his pessimism became one of the nineteenth century's most distinctive philosophical voices.
