About this item

Immerse yourself in the profound insights of Arthur Schopenhauer's groundbreaking philosophical work that has influenced generations of thinkers and redefined the way we understand our existence. Volume 1 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. For 70 years, the only unabridged English translation of this work was the Haldane-Kemp collaboration. In 1958, a new translation by E. F. J. Payne appeared, correcting nearly 1,000 errors and omissions in the Haldane-Kemp translation. Based on the definitive 1937 German edition of Schopenhauer's work prepared by Dr. Arthur Hübscher, Payne's edition is the first to translate into English the text's many quotations in half a dozen languages. It is thus the most useful edition for the student or teacher. Comprehensive English translation by E. F. J. Payne, correcting nearly 1,000 errors from previous editions, is based on the definitive 1937 German edition prepared by Dr. Arthur Hübscher. Explores the idea that our perceptions and desires shape the world we experience. Introduces the concept of "will" as a driving force behind all life and existence. Examines human suffering and the challenges of existence in a thoughtful way. Encourages readers to question reality and their role within it. Offers deep insights into the human mind and the nature of the world around us. Packed with intricate reasoning and powerful ideas, expanding on and challenging Kantian philosophy. The World as Will and Representation, Vol. 1 is a doorway into the mind of one of history's most influential philosophers, offering readers a transformative experience that is as thought-provoking today as when it was first written.
