Generations have turned to the great German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer because he tackled the big issues. This title presents a collection of Schopenhauer's work. “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.
