Reviews / Votes
This volume as a whole does a fine job in discussing these. And, unlike the volume on Hegel, this one can be used by students and readers new to Schopenhauer; this will be a good companion. (Reference Reviews, 26 August 2012) The essays uniformly succeed in engaging their topics in ways that will make them accessible to intermediate undergraduates but also interest graduate students and scholars. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Intermediate to advanced undergraduates and above. (Choice, 1 September 2012)More details
