The World as Will and Idea, Vol. 2 of 3 (Unabridged)

Summary

In the second volume of his seminal work, "The World as Will and Idea," Arthur Schopenhauer delves deeper into the nature of the world and the human experience. He explores the role of art, morality, and religion in shaping our understanding of reality. Schopenhauer argues that the world is driven by a blind, irrational force known as the Will, and that our lives are ultimately determined by this force. Yet, he also suggests that through art, morality, and religion, we can find moments of transcendence and glimpse the true nature of the world.
