Description
Summary:This work critically but sympathetically examines Schopenhauer's main work, "The World as Will and Representation", demonstrating that the philosophical system it puts forth does constitute a consistent whole. The author holds that this system is centered on a single thought, "The world is self-knowledge of the will." He then traces this unique concept through the four books of "The World as Will and Representation", and, in the process, dissolves the work's alleged inconsistencies.
