show moreSchopenhauer identifies the thing-in-itself — the inner essence of everything — as will: a blind, unconscious, aimless striving devoid of knowledge, outside of space and time, and free of all multiplicity. The world as representation is therefore the "objectification" of the will. Aesthetic experiences release one briefly from one’s endless servitude to the will, which is the root of suffering.
True redemption from life, can only result from total ascetic negation of the "will to life". Schopenhauer notes fundamental agreements between his philosophy, Platonism, and the philosophy of the ancient Indian Vedas.
The World as Will and Idea marked the pinnacle of Schopenhauer's philosophical thought, he spent the rest of his life refining, clarifying and deepening the ideas presented in this work without any fundamental changes.
