Inhaltsangabe

""On The Fourfold Root Of The Principle Of Sufficient Reason And On The Will In Nature"" is a philosophical treatise by German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In this book, Schopenhauer explores the concept of the principle of sufficient reason, which states that everything must have a reason or cause for its existence. He argues that there are four different forms of this principle: the logical, empirical, transcendental, and metaphysical. Schopenhauer also discusses the concept of the will, which he sees as the driving force behind all human action and existence. He argues that the will is a blind, irrational force that is constantly striving for satisfaction and fulfillment. He explores how the will operates in both human beings and in nature, and how it can lead to suffering and dissatisfaction. The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the principle of sufficient reason and the will. Schopenhauer's writing is dense and complex, and he draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific ideas to support his arguments. Overall, ""On The Fourfold Root Of The Principle Of Sufficient Reason And On The Will In Nature"" is a seminal work in the field of philosophy and a key text in Schopenhauer's body of work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Arthur Schopenhauer (22 February 1788 - 21 September 1860) was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation (expanded in 1844), wherein he characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind and insatiable metaphysical will. Building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism. He was among the first thinkers in Western philosophy to share and affirm significant tenets of Indian philosophy, such as asceticism, denial of the self, and the notion of the world-as-appearance. His work has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism.
