Bound by Otto Knoll of N.Y. Volume one illustrated with a folding chart and with two in-text diagrams, volumes two and three each with a folding chart. Edited by Julius Frauenstädt. A reprint of the second edition. Volume one with works on epistemology and writings on a theory of vision and colors. Volume one's text in German except for the final essay, which is in Latin. Volume two is in four books with an appendix containing a criticism of Kantian philosophy. Volume three with additions to the contents of the books in volume two. Volume four with an essay about the will in nature, and an essay on "the two basic problems of ethics". The final two volumes contain Parerga und Paralipomena, philosophical reflections by Schopenhauer. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "Arthur Schopenhauer". With work in aesthetics, ascetics, and reason, Schopenhauer's philosophy was influential for Nietszche, Bergson, and for countless literary figures (including Borges). SEP cites his ethics as one Schopenhauer's boldest ideas. His ethical framework does not require the existence of a deity for it to be justified. Much of twentieth-century art finds its roots in Schopenhauer's writings. Very Good.

Each volume with a bookplate, light rubbing to the extremities and the joints and corners touched up.
