In this his major work (published in 1819), Schopenhauer holds that all nature, including man, is the expression of an insatiable will to life; that the truest understanding of the world comes through art, and the only lasting good through ascetic renunciation. Unique in western philosophy for his affinity with eastern thought, Schopenhauer has had a wide influence upon philosophers, writers and composers - Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Wagner, Tolstoy, Thomas Mann and Samuel Beckett. The work presented here appeals not only to the student of philosophy, but to everyone interested in psychology, literature and eastern and western religion.
