Schopenhauer: Parerga and Paralipomena: Volume 2: Short Philosophical Essays (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Schopenhauer)

The years of accumulated wisdom from a pessimistic philosopher spill on every page of this wonderful work of art.

This new translation of Schopenhauer's Parerga and Paralipomena is scholarly and much anticipated, since the only other translation is outdated.

Varying quality to the wide ranging essays. The hardcover edition is physically well put together.

a most excellent work.

This is a wonderful translation, but save yourself the money and purchase the electronic copy. As of September, 2021 the pricey (>$100) hardcover is a cheap print-on-demand copy. I would love to have this in a proper binding if I can find one of the earlier printings. For now I'll be returning this and enjoying this translation on my e-reader.

A collection of miscellaneous essays on all manner of interesting subjects written with the ever brilliant writing of a very wise man. Volume one and two are both worth reading. The new translation from Cambridge Press by Janaway, improving on Payne's well-known translation but only regarding some specific terms is very good.. I like Payne's translations a lot. But this is well done. The production value is very good. Good, attractive cover, a good size font and style, easy to read, high quailty paper. A must in my book.

Livro excelente. Referência fundamental do pensamento humano.
