A broad English-language Schopenhauer anthology

Edited by Wolfgang Schirmacher, this volume gathers key selections from Schopenhauer’s major work, The World as Will and Representation, alongside material from his other writings. It is framed as a comprehensive English-language anthology, offering a single-volume route into a philosopher whose work spans questions central to ethics and moral philosophy. The collection’s emphasis is on presenting Schopenhauer’s ideas through selected primary texts rather than on offering a biographical account or a single standalone argument.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an English-language introduction to Schopenhauer through his own writings
  • Students and general readers of ethics and moral philosophy
  • Those interested in selections from The World as Will and Representation

Book overview

"We should be grateful to Schopenhauer for managing to express the truth about life so beautifully." -- Alain De Botton, author of The Consolations of Philosophy

The Essential Schopenhauer delivers the first comprehensive English anthology of the seminal philosopher's writings, edited by Wolfgang Schirmacher, president of the International Schopenhauer Association.

This indispensable collection affords readers a uniquely accessible gateway into the monolithic thinker's prodigious body of work. Just as the Harper Perennial Basic Writings seriesrenders the work of Heidegger and Nietzsche accessible for English readers, The Essential Schopenhauer gives us unprecedented access to the complex ideas of this profound and influential thinker.
