About this Lecture

Lecture

In this module, we turn to the third book of World as Will and Representation, in which Schopenhauer talks about the impact of aesthetic experiences on the will.

Course

In this course, Professor Chris Janaway (University of Southampton) explores the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, focusing in particular on his World as Will and Representation. After a brief introduction to Schopenhauer’s philosophy in general and to World as Will and Representation specifically in the first and second modules, the course then considers three aspects of Schopenhauer’s philosophy in more detail.
