This is a translation of work which first appeared in 1816 in
Germany. Although Schopenhauer himself acknowledged that the
treatise did not present any new and significant doctrines to his
philosophy, he nonetheless considered it important enough to
publish it again in revised form toward the end of his life, in
1854. As Professor Cartwright argues in his introduction, the
book's philosophical value is to be found in the means it provides
for increasing our understanding of Schopenhauer's philosophy, both
in terms of its method and meaning. Not only does this book aim to
offer insight into the younger Schopenhauer, it is also a
significant document in the history of optics and colour theory.

Schopenhauer's analyses of causation and related concepts . . .
rival and probably surpass in their depth and brilliance the more
celebrated discussions of David Hume. Where Hume grossly
oversimplified these problems and left them riddled with paradoxes,
Schopenhauer disentangled them and shed light on what had seemed
hopelessly dark. --Richard Taylor, University of Rochester
This is the only complete English translation of one of the most significant and fascinating works of the great philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860). The Parerga (Volume 1) are six long essays; the Paralipomena (Volume 2) are shorter writings arranged under thirty-one different subject-headings. These works won widespread attention on their publication in 1851, and helped secure lasting international fame for Schopenhauer. Their intellectual vigour, literary power, and rich diversity are still striking today. They are essential to a full understanding of Schopenhauer's thought.

Interest in Schopenhauer has increased noticeably in recent years.
Published here is one of his key works, which has been out of print
for a long time, in the form of Payne's definitive translation.
This work is one of the most significant nineteenth century
treatises on ethics. It is also Schopenhauer's most extended
discussion of traditional themes in ethics and presents a
descriptive ethics radically at odds with rationally based,
prescriptive ethical theories. Schopenhauer begins this book with a
wide-ranging critique of Kant's ethics, one that anticipates the
work of contemporary critics of modern moral philosophy like that
of G E M Anscombe, Philippa Foot, and Richard Taylor. Schopenhauer
argues that compassion is the basis of morality, and in so doing
presents a virtue ethics in which passion and desire are viewed as
the keys for explaining different moral characters, behaviours, and
world views. In the concluding part of his essay, Schopenhauer
sketches his metaphysics of morals, using Kant's transcendental
idealism as a ground for stressing both the interconnectiveness of
being and the affinity of his ethics to Eastern thought.
