This new translation reflects the eloquence and power of Schopenhauer\'s prose, and renders philosophical terms accurately and consistently.
Schopenhauer clarifies the nature of his metaphysics of the will, and synthesizes insights from a broad range of literary, scientific and scholarly sources.
Here we have his most mature reflections on many topics, including sex, death, conscious and unconscious desires, and the doctrines of salvation and liberation in Christian and Indian thought.
Its chapters are officially \'supplements\' to the first volume, but are indispensable for a proper appreciation of Schopenhauer\'s thought.
This second Volume was added to the work in 1844, and revised in 1859.
The World as Will and Representation contains Schopenhauer\'s entire philosophy, ranging through epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind and action, aesthetics and philosophy of art, to ethics, the meaning of life and the philosophy of religion.
