This volume of 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.
