The Schopenhauer, Arthur 1788-1860 creator Haldane, R. B. Haldane, Viscount (Richard Burdon Haldane) 1856-1928 Kemp, J. (John) text utu 2011 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The World as Will and Idea (Vol. 1 of 3)" by Arthur Schopenhauer is a philosophical work first published in 1818. Building on Kant's transcendental idealism, Schopenhauer argues that the world exists as "representation" in our minds, while its inner essence is a blind, unconscious will—the root of all suffering. Through four books, he explores how aesthetic experience offers temporary escape, though true redemption requires complete denial of the will to life. This single thought, examined from multiple perspectives, became his life's work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
