Synopsis

Arthur Schopenhauer's Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung is one of the most important philosophical works of the 19th century, laying the foundation for modern philosophy.

The second volume of The World as Will and Representation takes readers on a profound philosophical journey, unraveling the complexities of existence and human nature with unmatched depth and insight. A continuation of the definitive English translation of one of the most important philosophical works of the 19th century. The basic statement in one important stream of post-Kantian thought. Corrects nearly 1,000 errors and omissions in the older Haldane-Kemp translation. For the first time, this edition translates and locates all quotes and provides a complete index.
