Book excerpt: Written in 1839 and chosen as the winning entry in a competition held by the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences, Schopenhauer's Prize Essay on the Freedom of the Will marked the beginning of its author's public recognition and is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant and elegant treatments of free will and determinism. Schopenhauer distinguishes the freedom of acting from the freedom of willing, affirming the former while denying the latter. He portrays human action as thoroughly determined but also argues that the freedom which cannot be established in the sphere of human action is preserved at the level of our innermost being as individuated will, whose reality transcends all dependency on outside factors. This volume offers the text in a previously unpublished translation by Eric F. J. Payne, the leading twentieth-century translator of Schopenhauer into English, together with a historical and philosophical introduction by Günter Zöller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schopenhauer's prize essay On the Freedom of Will is one of the classics of Western philosophy, dealing with the question of free will versus determinism. His treatment of the problem of free will is by no means obsolete, containing penetrating reflections relevant to contemporary discussion. The argument of the essay is clearly and rigorously presented, and reveals many basic features of Schopenhauer's thought. As such, it forms a useful introduction to Schopenhauer's philosophy in general. Equally, the essay can be studied with profit independently of Schopenhauer's metaphysical views. This new edition of the sole English translation of this classic text contains and expanded bibliography, index and preface in which the translator comments on recent scholarship on Schopenhauer. The translator's introduction puts the essay into the context of Schopenhauer's general philosophy and suggests some possible criticisms of his position.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation from the original German 1839 "Über die Freiheit des menschlichen Willens" manuscript, with a new Afterword by the Translator. Schopenhauer's "On the Freedom of the Human Will" is a seminal work where Schopenhauer expounds on his deterministic view of human agency. He vehemently rejects the notion of free will, arguing that human actions are governed by the causal chain of events and the underlying will. This work represents Schopenhauer's vigorous defense of his philosophical stance against the prevailing belief in human autonomy. His critique of free will has inspired philosophical debates that continue to this day, impacting disciplines such as moral psychology, neuroscience, and jurisprudence. Schopenhauer's argument for determinism challenges conventional notions of personal responsibility and has profound implications for our understanding of human behavior and moral accountability.

Book excerpt: "These essays are a valuable criticism of life by a man who had a wide experience of life, a man of the world, who possessed an almost inspired faculty of observation. Schopenhauer, of all men, unmistakably observed life at first hand. There is no academic echo in his utterances; he is not one of a school; his voice has no formal intonation; it is deep, full-chested, and rings out its words with all the poignancy of individual emphasis, without bluster, but with unfailing conviction. He was for his time, and for his country, an adept at literary form; but he used it only as a means. "
