{"product_id":"world-as-will-idea","title":"World as Will \u0026 Idea","description":"The nineteenth-century idealist philosopher and precursor of Freud\n\nThe World as Will and Idea (1819) holds that all nature, including man, is the expression of an insatiable will to life; that the truest understanding of the world comes through art and the only lasting good through ascetic renunciation. Unique in western philosophy for his affinity with Eastern thought, Schopenhauer influenced philosophers, writers, and composers including Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Wagner, Tolstoy, Thomas Mann, and Samuel Beckett.\n\nThe Work presented here appeals not only to the student of philosophy but everyone interested in psychology, literature and eastern and western religion.\n\nThis paperback edition is the most comprehensive available and includes an introduction, bibliography, selected criticism, index and chronology of Schopenhauer's life and times.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0460875051\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0460875051.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Arthur Schopenhauer|David Berman|Jill Berman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
