On the Basis of Morality
Arthur Schopenhauer

Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1998

An Absolutely Beautiful Book
The nineteenth century produced many different systems of ethics. While Kant, Nietzsche, Mill, and Hegel all contributed greatly to ethical thought, the greatest contribution, in my opinion, came from Arthur Schopenhauer. On the Basis of Morality is not only a ...

The World As Will and Representation, In Two Volumes: Vol. I
Arthur Schopenhauer

Dover Publications, 1966

Philosophy for independent thinkers
Schopenhauer's magnum opus towers high above the silly word games of the analysts. This book is philosophy at its very best- a book that no educated person should miss for Schopenhauer wrote primarily for the layman. Like Nietzsche, he was highly skeptical of the ...
  
  











  



  
World as Will & Idea (Everyman's Library (Paper))
Arthur Schopenhauer

Orion Publishing Group, Ltd., 1995

the futility of willing
For someone with no formal instruction in philosophy this is a very good book to begin with. Schopenhauer avoids the use of pretensious "philosophical" jargon and writes in a predominantly literary fashion. The main value in this book is its ideas. Its basic premis ...
  
  











  



  
On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason (The Open Court Classics Open Coutn Library of ...
Arthur Schopenhauer

Open Court Publishing Company, 2003

Minor Problem
This amazing treatise on human knowledge has one little fault. The editors at Open Court left out eleven words in the Tranlator's Introduction. This omission should gratify present-day philosophers in that it turns Schopenhauer's words into modern-sounding nonsense. I ...

Parerga and Paralipomena: Short Philosophical Essays Volume One
Arthur Schopenhauer

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

Schopenhauer's Claim to Fame
Actually, Parerga was not the book which S. considered to be his masterpiece; The World as Will and Representation was. But it made him famous, especially in England. It's striking too how weak human nature is, even in the case of a man considered to be both a genius ...
  
  











  



  
The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims (Great Books in Philosophy)
Arthur Schopenhauer, T. Bailey Saunders

Prometheus Books, 1995

Brilliantly written, but not for the tender-skinned.
I have to disagree with the other review I read on this work. I prefer Schopenhauer's 'pessimism' (which by the way, is written with great wit and humor and had me laughing quite a bit) to Nietzsche's destructive, puffed-up idealistic gas. This is not because I think ...

Essay on the Freedom of the Will (Philosophical Classics) (Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences Winner)
Arthur Schopenhauer

Dover Publications, 2005

A powerful examination of free will and determinism
For those who are convinced that determinism has been refuted (ie. Popper, Sartre, Kierkegarrd) it is quite obvious that they haven't read this essay because if they had they might put their own presuppositions about the validity of free will into question. ...
