(John) Kemp, John, M.A. The World as Will and Idea (Vol. 3 of 3) Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_as_Will_and_Representation Translation of "Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung." "The World as Will and Idea (Vol. 3 of 3)" by Arthur Schopenhauer is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. This volume serves as a supplement to earlier parts of Schopenhauer's profound exploration of metaphysics, focusing on the concepts of will, intellect, and the nature of reality. It delves into the relation of these ideas to consciousness, life, and the human experience, positing that the will is the true essence of reality, transcending mere intellectual understanding. The opening of this volume presents a retrospective compilation of Schopenhauer's ideas, where he distinguishes the intellect's subordinate nature compared to the "will." He asserts that many natural processes occur without intellectual intervention, arguing that the workings of nature are rooted in unconscious will rather than conscious reasoning. His discourse critiques past philosophical viewpoints, suggesting a profound connection between the will and existence itself, while outlining the limitations of human knowledge regarding the true essence of things. Schopenhauer sets the stage for subsequent explorations of beauty, ethics, and the nature of existence, emphasizing the metaphysical underpinnings of the life experience.
