The World as Will and Representation
Arthur Schopenhauer
The World as Will and Representation (WWR; German: Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung), sometimes translated as The World as Will and Idea, is the central work of the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. The first edition was published in late 1818, with the date 1819 on the title page. A second, two-volume edition appeared in 1844: volume one was an edited version of the 1818 edition, while volume two consisted of commentary on the ideas expounded in volume one. A third expanded edition was published in 1859, the year before Schopenhauer's death. In 1948, an abridged version was edited by Thomas Mann.

Vivek’s Notes
The German philosopher's magnum opus, published in 1818. It builds on earlier works by Immanuel Kant, affirming parts and criticising parts of Kant's theory of transcendental idealism: the idea that human experience of something depends on how it appears to us.
