Synopsis

Excerpt from On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and on the Will in Nature; Two Essays: Translated by Mme; Karl Hillebrand

On the other hand, to send a juvenile work. Like this once more into the world with all its faults and blemishes, seemed to me unjustifiable. For I am aware that the time cannot be very far Ofi when all correction will be impossible; but with that time the period of my real in?uence will commence, and this period, I trust, will'' be a long one, for I firmly rely upon Seneca''s promise Etiamsi omnibus tecum viventibus silentium livor in dixerit renient qui sine ofensa, sine gratia judicent. I have done what I could, therefore, to improve this work of my youth, and, considering the brevity and uncertainty of life, I must even regard it as an especially fortunate circumstance, to have been thus permitted to correct in my sixtieth year what I had written in my twenty-sixth.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A disciple of Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer took the Kantian concept that all knowledge derives from experience and broadened it to conclude that our experience of the world is necessarily subjective and influenced by our own intellect and biases, and that reality is but an extension of our own will. This is the basis of all of Schopenhauer's thinking, and here, he offers an essential foundation for understanding and appreciating all of his work. First produced as his doctoral dissertation in 1813, these two essays-"On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason" and "On the Will in Nature"-were revised and published by the author in 1847. The writings of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer were a profound influence on art and aesthetics, music and literature in the 19th century.
