Inhaltsangabe

A disciple of Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer took the Kantian concept that all knowledge derives from experience and broadened it to conclude that our experience of the world is necessarily subjective and influenced by our own intellect and biases, and that reality is but an extension of our own will. This is the basis of all of Schopenhauer's thinking, and here, he offers an essential foundation for understanding and appreciating all of his work. First produced as his doctoral dissertation in 1813, these two essays-"On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason" and "On the Will in Nature"-were revised and published by the author in 1847; this 1889 edition represents its first translation into the English language. Students of philosophy and of 19th-century culture will find this a demanding but satisfying read.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a German philosopher best known for his work The World as Will and Representation, in which he developed a system grounded in metaphysical will and philosophical pessimism. His thought influenced later figures including Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Thomas Mann. Though not widely recognized during his early career, Schopenhauer's writings gained substantial influence in the later nineteenth century and continue to be studied for their psychological insight and stylistic clarity.
