Schopenhauer by Robert J Wicks
This innovative volume presents an insightful philosophical portrait of the life and work of Arthur Schopenhauer.
"Robert Wicks offers a highly accessible introduction to Schopenhauer's philosophy, giving prominence to the central ethical notions of tranquility and wanting less, which he compares in illuminating fashion with Buddhism"
- Chris Janaway, University of Southampton

"Robert Wicks' Schopenhauer is a perspicacious and perspicuous elucidation of the great pessimist's thoughts. This is a fine work of philosophical scholarship, valuable for those approaching Schopenhauer for the first time and for those who have been with him for years."
- David Cartwright, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
