Delphi Collected Works of Arthur Schopenhauer (Illustrated)

The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer is best known for his 1818 work 'The World as Will and Idea', which characterises the phenomenal world as the product of a blind and insatiable metaphysical will. Proceeding from the transcendental idealism of Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that is viewed by many as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism. His works on aesthetics, morality and psychology would exert a major influence on existential philosophy and Freudian thinking.
