Schopenhauer's 'The World as Will and Representation'

Author: Judith Norman
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108808069
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 295

Book Description
Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation is one of the central texts in the history of Western philosophy. It is one of the last monuments to the project of grand synthetic philosophical system-building, where a single, unified work could aim to clarify, resolve, and ground all the central questions of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, religion, aesthetics and science. Poorly received at its initial publication, it soon became a powerful cultural force, inspiring not only philosophers but also artists, writers and musicians, and attracting a large popular audience of non-scholars. Perhaps equally importantly, Schopenhauer was one of the first European philosophers to take non-Western thought seriously and to treat it as a living tradition rather than as a mere object of study. This volume of new essays showcases the enormous variety of contemporary scholarship on this monumental text, as well as its enduring relevance.

Book Description
"Schopenhauer's analyses of causation and related concepts . . . rival and probably surpass in their depth and brilliance the more celebrated discussions of David Hume. Where Hume grossly oversimplified these problems and left them riddled with paradoxes, Schopenhauer disentangled them and shed light on what had seemed hopelessly dark." --Richard Taylor, University of Rochester

Book Description
""The World as Will and Idea"" Volume 2, authored by the influential German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, continues his groundbreaking exploration of metaphysics and philosophy. Building upon the foundation laid in Volume 1, Schopenhauer delves deeper into his theory that the essence of reality is governed by an underlying force he terms ""will."" In this volume, he further examines the nature of human consciousness, the dynamics of desire and suffering, and the interconnectedness of all existence. Schopenhauer's penetrating analysis challenges conventional understandings of reality, offering profound insights into the human condition and the mysteries of the universe. With eloquent prose and rigorous philosophical inquiry, Volume 2 expands upon Schopenhauer's comprehensive worldview, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of existence and the perennial quest for meaning. This volume stands as a testament to Schopenhauer's intellectual prowess and enduring influence in the realms of philosophy and metaphysics.

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 496

Book Description
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) is something of a maverick figure in the history of philosophy. He produced a unique theory of the world and human existence based upon his notion of will. This collection analyses the related but distinct components of will from the point of view of epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, ethics, and the philosophy of psychoanalysis. This volume explores Schopenhauer's philosophy of death, his relationship to the philosophy of Kant, his use of ideas drawn from both Buddhism and Hinduism, and the important influence he exerted on Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein.
