The World as Will and Representation

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) — an outstanding German philosopher-irrationalist.
"The World as Will and Representation" - the main work of A. Schopenhauer. In it, the author sought to create a fundamentally new and comprehensive teaching, contrary to the rationalism of the New time.
In Schopenhauer's philosophy, the driving force of all phenomena in the Universe is the unconscious will of the world, which manifests itself in everything and remains alien to everything.
