Synopsis

This is the first English translation of Schopenhauer's important work which originally appeared in 1816 in Germany. As Professor Cartwright argues in his introduction, the book's philosophical value is to be found in the means it provides for increasing our understanding of Schopenhauer's philosophy, both in terms of its method and meaning.
