<p>“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.”  (<i>Reference Reviews</i>, 26 August 2012)</p> <p>“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.”  (<i>Choice</i>, 1 September 2012)</p> <p> </p>
<b>Bart Vandenabeele</b> is Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art at Ghent University, Belgium. He has written extensively on 18th- and 19th-century philosophy, the history of aesthetics, the philosophy of art, and the philosophy of language and communication. Vandenabeele is associate editor of <i>Empedocles: European Journal for the Philosophy of Communication</i> and a member of the international advisory board of the Schopenhauer-Gesellschaft.
Schopenhauer is often considered an outsider among philosophers, and yet his philosophy deeply influenced key thinkers and writers, including Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Proust, and remains a significant source of inspiration in philosophical research. <i>A Companion to Schopenhauer</i> offers the first comprehensive guide to the philosopher, covering all the major aspects of his work. It showcases contemporary scholarship on Schopenhauer and allows readers to engage in debates concerning Schopenhauer's ideas on a wide range of topics. <p>The reference contains 25 newly commissioned chapters by prominent Schopenhauer scholars working in the field today. These cover Schopenhauer's life and thought, and the crucial areas of his work, including: nature, knowledge and perception; world, will and life; art, beauty and the sublime; compassion, resignation and sainthood; and in-depth discussion of the context and legacy of Schopenhauer's thought. Contributors also provide fresh treatments of his theory of the Platonic Ideas, his philosophy of resignation, his views on love and sexuality, his color theory, his relationship to Indian philosophy and to Freudian psychoanalysis, and his often neglected ideas on perception, mathematics, scientific knowledge and the will in nature.</p>
This wide-ranging and absorbing collection of essays presents some of the finest Schopenhauer scholarship today. Its twenty-five chapters bring to life the power and provocativeness of Schopenhauer’s thought on everything from metaphysics to architecture, cognition to color theory, and Indian philosophy to aesthetics. Taken together, they constitute a timely reminder of how philosophy has been enriched by this maverick and much-neglected thinker. <p> </p> <p>-Simon May, King's College London</p>
