About This Book
Arthur Schopenhauer's magnum opus, "The World as Will and Idea (The World as Will and Representation), " spans three volumes that delve deeply into his philosophical system. Published between 1818 and 1819, these volumes explore Schopenhauer's concept of the world as fundamentally characterized by an underlying "Will" that drives all phenomena. He argues that this Will manifests itself as a blind and ceaseless striving, underlying the plurality of individual representations or ideas. Schopenhauer draws on Kantian philosophy, Eastern thought, and his own metaphysical insights to present a comprehensive critique of human existence and the nature of reality. His work remains influential for its unique synthesis of metaphysics, ethics, and psychology, offering a profound perspective on the human condition and the nature of consciousness.
