Schopenhauer: World as Will and Representation

In this course, Professor Chris Janaway (University of Southampton) explores the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, focusing in particular on his World as Will and Representation. After a brief introduction to Schopenhauer’s philosophy in general and to World as Will and Representation specifically in the first and second modules, the course then considers three aspects of Schopenhauer’s philosophy in more detail.

Introduction

In this module, we provide a brief introduction to Schopenhauer’s philosophy—the fact that “life… is really constant suffering, or at any rate… a business that does not cover the cost.”
