The Essential Schopenhauer delivers the first comprehensive English anthology of the seminal philosopher’s writings.

Just as the Harper Perennial Basic Writings series renders the work of Heidegger and Nietzsche accessible for English readers, The Essential Schopenhauer gives us unprecedented access to the complex ideas of this profound and influential thinker.
