Product Description

Product Description
This is the only complete English translation of one of the most significant and fascinating works of the great philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860). The Parerga (Volume 1) are six long essays; the Paralipomena (Volume 2) are shorter writings arranged under thirty-one different subject-headings. These works won widespread attention on their publication in 1851, and helped secure lasting international fame for Schopenhauer. Their intellectual vigour, literary power, and rich diversity are still striking today. They are essential to a full understanding of Schopenhauer's thought.

About the Author
E. F. J Payne produced authoritative translations ofThe World as Will and Representation, The Basis of Morality, and The Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars Publisher be damned....................., 8 Mar 2008
Payne's translation is quite good, but there's something far wrong about
the publisher charging big money for a reprint of a reprint, which seems
to have been bound on the assumption that the book won't be read. Should
Schopenhauer be subsidising the junk currently put out as new titles by
the once-worthy OUP?
