The World as Will and Representation WWR; Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung WWV sometimes translated as The World as Will and Idea is the central work of the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. The first edition was published in late 1818 with the date 1819 on the title page. A second two-volume edition appeared in 1844: volume one was an edited version of the 1818 edition while volume two consisted of commentary on the ideas expounded in volume one. A third expanded edition was published in 1859 the year before Schopenhauer's death. In 1948 an abridged version was edited by Thomas Mann. In the summer of 1813 Schopenhauer submitted his doctoral dissertation—On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason—and was awarded a doctorate from the University of Jena. After spending the following winter in Weimar he lived in Dresden and published his treatise On Vision and Colours in 1816. Schopenhauer spent the next several years working on his chief work The World as Will and Representation. Schopenhauer asserted that the work is meant to convey a "single thought" from various perspectives. He develops his philosophy over four books covering epistemology ontology aesthetics and ethics. Following these books is an appendix containing Schopenhauer's detailed Criticism of the Kantian Philosophy. Taking the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant as his starting point Schopenhauer argues that the world humans experience around them—the world of objects in space and time and related in causal ways—exists solely as "representation" Vorstellung dependent on a cognizing subject not as a world that can be considered to exist in itself i.e. independently of how it appears to the subject's mind. One's knowledge of objects is thus knowledge of mere phenomena rather than things in themselves. Schopenhauer identifies the thing-in-itself — the inner essence of everything — as will: a blind unconscious aimless striving devoid of knowledge outside of space and time and free of all multiplicity. The world as representation is therefore the "objectification" of the will. Aesthetic experiences release one briefly from one's endless servitude to the will which is the root of suffering. True redemption from life Schopenhauer asserts can only result from the total ascetic negation of the "will to life". Schopenhauer notes fundamental agreements between his philosophy Platonism and the philosophy of the ancient Indian Vedas. The World as Will and Representation marked the pinnacle of Schopenhauer's philosophical thought; he spent the rest of his life refining clarifying and deepening the ideas presented in this work without any fundamental changes. The first edition was met with near-universal silence. The second edition of 1844 similarly failed to attract any interest. At the time post-Kantian German academic philosophy was dominated by the German idealists—foremost among them G. W. F. Hegel whom Schopenhauer bitterly denounced as a "charlatan". Arthur Schopenhauer German: 22 February 1788 – 21 September 1860 was a German philosopher. He is known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation expanded in 1844 which characterizes the phenomenal world as the manifestation of a blind and irrational noumenal will. Building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant 1724–1804 Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism. Schopenhauer 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. Though his work failed to garner substantial attention during his lifetime he had a posthumous impact across various disciplines including philosophy literature and science. His writing on aesthetics morality and psychology have influenced many thinkers and artists.
