Reviews / Votes
'This is a book of great merit, and of absorbing interest . . . it is hard to see how Mr Gardiner's exposition - clear, elegant, acute in criticism, unfailing in sympathy - could be improved upon.' - Times Educational Supplement 'Nobody until Mr. Gardiner has written such a lengthy and complete exposition of his views. . . . Anyone who wishes to comment usefully upon Schopenhauer at all will in future be in debt to Mr Gardiner's excellent introduction.' - Alasdair MacIntyre, The Guardian 'There are very few good books in English on Schopenhauer. This one by Patrick Gardiner . . . is almost the only exception.' - D. W. Hamlyn, Birkbeck College, LondonMore details
