The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer

by Christopher Janaway

The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Schopenhauer (1788-1860) is something of a maverick figure in the history of philosophy. He produced a unique theory of the world and human existence based on his notion of will. This collection analyzes the related but distinct components of will from the point of view of epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, ethics, and the philosophy of psychoanalysis. New readers will find this the most convenient and accessible guide to Schopenhauer currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the interpretation of Schopenhauer.

Synopsis:

A collection of specially-commissioned essays analysing Schopenhauer's philosophy.
