Parerga and Paralipomena: Volume 2: Short Philosophical Essays by Arthur Schopenhauer
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.
E. F. J Payne produced authoritative translations of The World as Will and Representation, The Basis of Morality, and The Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason.
