Dale Jacquette charts the development of Schopenhauer's ideas from
the time of his early dissertation on The Fourfold Root of the
Principle of Sufficient Reason through the two editions of his
magnum opus The World as Will and Representation to his later
collections of philosophical aphorisms and competition essays.
Jacquette explores the central topics in Schopenhauer's philosophy
including his metaphysics of the world as representation and Will,
his so-called pessimistic philosophical appraisal of the human
condition, his examination of the concept of death, his dualistic
analysis of free will, and his simplified non-Kantian theory of
morality. Jacquette shows how these many complex themes fit
together in a unified portrait of Schopenhauer's philosophy. The
synthesis of Plato, Kant and Buddhist and Hindu ideas is given
particular attention as is his influence on Nietzsche, first a
follower and then arch opponent of Schopenhauer's thought, and the
early Wittgenstein. The book provides a comprehensive and in-depth
historical and philosophical introduction to Schopenhauer's
distinctive contribution to philosophy.
