Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung
Book • 1818
In 'Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung', Schopenhauer presents a comprehensive philosophical system that divides existence into the world of representation (the world as it appears to us) and the world of will (the underlying, true nature of reality).
He argues that the will is the fundamental driving force of existence, characterized by endless striving and desire, which ultimately leads to suffering.
The book is structured into four main parts, each addressing different aspects of his philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics, aesthetics, and ethics.
Schopenhauer suggests that art and asceticism can provide temporary relief from the suffering caused by the will, and that true redemption can only be achieved through the denial of the 'will to life'.
His work is heavily influenced by Kant and Eastern philosophies, particularly Buddhism.
