Exploring the foundations of human existence, Arthur Schopenhauer argues that reality is merely an extension of our will, leading to a life predominantly filled with suffering. This essay, translated by Thomas Bailey Saunders, delves into Schopenhauer's philosophical insights, which significantly influenced thinkers like Nietzsche. First published in English in the 1890s, it presents a profound examination of the human condition and the nature of reality, highlighting the interplay between desire and despair.
