The World as Will and Representation, Vol. 2 Paperback – June 1, 1966

Lesson is easy to understand

After completing the first volume of The World as Will and RepresentationI decided to move on to volume 2. This is a great edition and a decent translation, but I prefer the more modern translation by Judith Norman Alistair Welchman and Christopher Janeway that I have in the paperback edition.As for this edition on Kindle, it is excellent. I haven't seen any formatting errors or mistakes. for the price, this is a five-star purchase all the way.

This arrived today and I'm happy to say that the print and paper quality are both excellent. I'm still cracking into this edition, but so far I have nothing but nice things to say about it.As far as the actual work is concerned, this is Schopenhauer's magnum opus and should be read by absolutely everyone who claims to enjoy Western philosophy.

Took me awhile to understand the central claim(s), but once I did I was very impressed. Schopenhauer was, rightly so, an influence on most of the great thinkers in the modern era and this text effectively illustrates why.

My favorite pessimist. Schopenhauer is matter of fact when it comes to being human.

This is a book you just read and try to understand. Yes it is dated now but it's also the building block for many of the ideas that follow and are taken for granted today. The Kindle copy is clean and easy to read which is not always the case.

read the complete works of Schopenhauer, never again will I participate in the vile obscenity of capitalism. Good bye forever, Amazon.

I absolutely love Arthur Schopenhauer writings and would recommend them to anyone.
