The World as Will and Representation (the World as Will and Idea), Volume I of III

More about the book

Schopenhauer's philosophy presents a compelling exploration of perception and reality, arguing that the world transcends sensory experience and is shaped by individual interpretation. He diverges from Kant on ethics, emphasizing the significance of inner experiences driven by the Will. His examination of human desires reveals a painful struggle for unattainable happiness. This influential work, divided into three volumes, is regarded as Schopenhauer's most important contribution to philosophy and a key text of the 19th century.
