Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Schopenhauer The World As Will And Representation Volume 1 by Judith Norman , Alistair Welchman , Christopher Janaway
First published in 1818 The World as Will and Representation contains Schopenhauers entire philosophy ranging through epistemology metaphysics philosophy of mind and action aesthetics and philosophy of art to ethics the meaning of life and the philosophy of religion in an attempt to account for the world in all its significant aspects. It gives a unique and influential account of what is and is not of value in existence the striving and pain of the human condition and the possibility of deliverance from it. This translation of the first volume of what later became a twovolume work reflects the eloquence and power of Schopenhauers prose and renders philosophical terms accurately and consistently. It offers an introduction glossary of names and bibliography and succinct editorial notes including notes on the revisions of the text which Schopenhauer made in 1844 and 1859.
