Publisher's Synopsis
Essay On The Freedom Of The Will by Arthur Schopenhauer is a philosophical treatise that explores the concept of free will and determinism. Schopenhauer argues that free will is an illusion and that all human actions are determined by prior causes. He delves into the nature of human behavior and the factors that influence our decisions, including our environment, genetics, and upbringing. Schopenhauer also discusses the implications of his theory for morality and ethics, suggesting that individuals should be held accountable for their actions but not necessarily punished for them. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in philosophy. Overall, Essay On The Freedom Of The Will is a thought-provoking work that challenges traditional notions of free will and invites readers to reconsider their understanding of human agency.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
