The World As Will And Idea: Containing The Criticism Of The Kantian Philosophy And The Supplements To The First Book And Part Of The Second Book O (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163397695)

The World As Will And Idea is a philosophical work by Arthur Schopenhauer. The book contains a critique of Kantian philosophy and supplements to the first and part of the second book of volume one. Schopenhauer's central thesis is that the world is fundamentally a manifestation of will, which is the driving force behind all human actions and desires. He argues that the human will is inherently selfish and that our desires can never be fully satisfied. Schopenhauer also explores the nature of consciousness, perception, and the relationship between the individual and the universe. The book is divided into four volumes, with the second volume containing the supplements to the first book and part of the second book. Overall, The World As Will And Idea is a seminal work of philosophy that continues to influence contemporary thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
