The World as Will and Representation
Arthur Schopenhauer
First published 1818–19, as Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung
The world as it appears to us is representation; underneath it is a blind, striving will. Out of that comes a philosophy of suffering, and of release from it through art, compassion and renunciation.
Notes to come.
