Overview

The World as Will and the idea: Philosophical Classic (Vol. 2 of 3) Containing the Criticism of the Kantian Philosophy, and the Supplements to the First and Part of the Second Book of Vol. I. Have you known the famous German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer? This prominent book marked the pinnacle of Schopenhauer's philosophical thought.He spent the rest of his life correcting, purifying, and deepening the ideas given in this book without any major changes. Schopenhauer’s ideas were unique in western philosophy because of his attachment with Eastern thought. Therefore, he impacts on philosophers, writers, and composers including Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Wagner, Tolstoy, Thomas Mann, and Samuel Beckett. Schopenhauer believes that the ‘will’ is the 'inner essence' of the whole world; the world is will in a way that all ideas are an expression of the will. The will is the basic reality of the world that all incidents depend on it. The Work introduces here is suitable not only for the student of philosophy but everyone interested in psychology, literature and eastern and western religion. About the author: Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860) was a German artist philosopher. He was one of the first scholars in Western philosophy to share and state major thoughts of Indian philosophy, such as asceticism, self-denial, and the concept of the world-as-appearance. His work is also known as the philosophical pessimism, as he expresses a world-outlook that challenges the value of beings.
