Newly stocked, it features a precise and elegant translation, comprehensive editorial notes, and scholarly tools, making it an essential read for anyone seeking profound insights into the human condition and the nature of reality. ## Description First published in 1818, The World as Will and Representation contains Schopenhauer's entire philosophy, ranging through epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind and action, aesthetics and philosophy of art, to ethics, the meaning of life and the philosophy of religion, in an attempt to account for the world in all its significant aspects. It gives a unique and influential account of what is and is not of value in existence, the striving and pain of the human condition and the possibility of deliverance from it. This translation of the first volume of what later became a two-volume work reflects the eloquence and power of Schopenhauer's prose and renders philosophical terms accurately and consistently. It offers an introduction, glossary of names and bibliography, and succinct editorial notes, including notes on the revisions of the text which Schopenhauer made in 1844 and 1859. Review: Five Stars - an excellent work. Review: Great content, poorly made book - The translation of these Cambridge Schopenhauer books is amazing, possibly the best. Unfortunately they are not the best quality books and don’t last as long as most paperbacks should these days, thus the 4 stars rather than 5. The hardbacks may be worth the extra price. And as usual desertcart shipped in a paper envelope and seriously damaged the book, again. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 504,664 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 48 Reviews | ## Images ![Schopenhauer: The World as Will and Representation: 'The World as Will and Representation': Volume 1 (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Schopenhauer) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61--9kwOs4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by M***S on 21 July 2017* an excellent work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great content, poorly made book *by A***N on 8 May 2020* The translation of these Cambridge Schopenhauer books is amazing, possibly the best.

I have made the mistake of purchasing two thus far, both of which were flawed in different ways. My new copy of "The World as Will and Representation, Vol 1" has a concave spine and black smudges on the edge of the pages. It also uses paper of rather poor quality. I'm forced to conclude that Cambridge has a quality control problem. The two books were printed in Las Vegas and Texas, where the people involved apparently don't care much about the finished product. As welcome as these new editions are for readers of Schopenhauer, the poor quality of the books themselves makes the series unappealing on the whole. At the very least, I would suggest you purchase a copy only if you can return it with ease. It feels like a crap shoot. ## Frequently Bought Together - Schopenhauer: 'The World as Will and Representation': Volume 1 (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Schopenhauer) - Schopenhauer: The World as Will and Representation (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Schopenhauer) - Schopenhauer: On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason and Other Writings (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Schopenhauer) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/66760715-schopenhauer-the-world-as-will-and-representation-the-world-as](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/66760715-schopenhauer-the-world-as-will-and-representation-the-world-as) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
