This volume of new translations unites three shorter works by
Arthur Schopenhauer that expand on themes from his book The World
as Will and Representation. In On the Fourfold Root he takes the
principle of sufficient reason, which states that nothing is
without a reason why it is, and shows how it covers different forms
of explanation or ground that previous philosophers have tended to
confuse. Schopenhauer regarded this study, which he first wrote as
his doctoral dissertation, as an essential preliminary to The World
as Will. On Will in Nature examines contemporary scientific
findings in search of corroboration of his thesis that processes in
nature are all a species of striving towards ends; and On Vision
and Colours defends an anti-Newtonian account of colour perception
influenced by Goethe's famous colour theory. This is the first
English edition to provide extensive editorial notes on the
different published versions of these works.
