A new translation of the popular philosophical essays that made Schopenhauer famous, including essays on a diverse range of topics.
A new translation of Schopenhauer's collection of popular philosophical essays, featuring a substantial introduction explaining the context of the essays, and extensive editorial notes on the different published versions of the work. Essential for those studying Schopenhauer, the history of philosophy, and nineteenth-century German philosophy.With the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851, there finally came some measure of the fame that Schopenhauer thought was his due. Described by Schopenhauer himself as 'incomparably more popular than everything up till now', Parerga is a miscellany of essays addressing themes that complement his work The World as Will and Representation, along with more divergent, speculative pieces. It includes essays on method, logic, the intellect, Kant, pantheism, natural science, religion, education, and language. The present volume offers a new translation, a substantial introduction explaining the context of the essays, and extensive editorial notes on the different published versions of the work. This readable and scholarly edition will be an essential reference for those studying Schopenhauer, the history of philosophy, and nineteenth-century German philosophy.
'This latest installment in the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Schopenhauer is a very welcome appearance for the English-speaking scholarly world.' Dennis Vanden Auweele, Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger
