Here, John E. Atwell critically but sympathetically examines the philosopher's main work, \u003ci\u003eThe World as Will and Representation\u003c\/i\u003e, demonstrating that the philosophical system it puts forth \u003ci\u003edoes\u003c\/i\u003e constitute a consistent whole. The author holds that this system is centered on a single thought, \"The world is self-knowledge of the will.\" He then traces this unifying concept through the four books of \u003ci\u003eThe World as Will and Representation\u003c\/i\u003e, and, in the process, dissolves the work's alleged inconsistencies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47591663206551,"sku":"9780520087705","price":5935.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520087705.webp?v=1774974030","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/schopenhauer-on-the-character-of-the-world-the-metaphysics-of-will-9780520087705","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
