Short description:
Christopher Janaway presents the first full-length study of Arthur Schopenhauer's central philosophical achievement: his account of the self and its relation to the world of objects. Schopenhauer's dynamic system of thought embraces epistemological, metaphysical, psychological, and physiological concerns; Janaway gives a clear and careful guide to this system, and shows that it offers much illumination for current philosophical work on the self.

Arthur Schopenhauer's central philosophical achievement was his account of the self and its relation to the world of objects. Embracing epistemological, metaphysical, psychological, and physiological concerns, his dynamic system of thought reveals in a unique way the serious philosophical conflicts that can arise when we think about the self.

In the final part of the book Janaway highlights the influence of Schop
An unusual and superlative work that does more than justice to the epistemic and metaphysical issues that lie at the heart of a philosophical understanding of the self and the world....What is striking about this original study is the detailed and illuminating analysis of the Kantian background of Schopenhauer's thought, the careful examination of Schopenhauer's idealist standpoint, his distinctions between subject and object, and the thoughtful and insightful analyses of 'will' and 'willing
