NOW IN ITS THIRD PRINTING…
On the Suffering of the World is a collection of Arthur Schopenhauer’s late writings.
"Thacker's introductory essay insightfully sketches the biographical and intellectual context of Schopenhauer's distinctly zestful reflections on the vanity of life, the fear of death and humankind's place in the universe." —The Washington Post
"Here, finally, is a version of Schopenhauer which feels condensed enough to approach. No longer does one have to sacrifice too much of one’s life to find out why it’s not worth living." —The New Humanist
