The World as Will and Representation (Volume 1) by Arthur Schopenhauer

The World as Will and Representation (Volume 1) by Arthur Schopenhauer

Schopenhauer's magnum opus argues that beneath the world of appearances lies a single, blind, insatiable force he calls the will — the underlying drive behind all desire, striving and suffering — and that human life consists largely of endless wanting that can never be permanently satisfied.

He draws on Kant, Eastern philosophy and his own deeply pessimistic temperament to argue that genuine relief from suffering comes only through aesthetic contemplation, compassion or the ascetic denial of the will itself, laying groundwork that would later influence Nietzsche, Freud and existentialist thought.

One of the most influential works of nineteenth-century philosophy, foundational to later existentialist thought.
