What is the meaning of life? How should I live? Is there any
purpose to the universe? Generations have turned to the great
German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer because he tackled the big
issues. His influence has extended not only to later philosophers -
Nietzsche foremost among them - but across the most brilliant
novelists, musicians, and artists of all disciplines. Schopenhauer
believed that the world was a cold, absurd place, and that it was
only by the force of an individual's Will that any meaning could be
created. He also believed that the universe itself had a Will-a
spiritual force many have likened to The Way, spoken of by Taoists.
This, the first English collection of Schopenhauer's work, is a
much-needed book. Schopenhauer wrote thousands of pages. Volume 1
of his most famous work, "The World as Will and Representation",
alone runs over 750 pages. As a result, it has been daunting to
know where to begin to read Schopenhauer, despite his immense
reputation. Now, just as Basic Writings did for Heidegger and
Nietzsche, our new collection will open English readers to
Schopenhauer's profound ideas - almost as if for the first time.
