Pagera Editor's Note

This final volume of R. B. Haldane and J. Kemp's three-volume translation of Arthur Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Idea completes the supplementary chapters he added in 1844. It continues the supplements to the Second Book, on matter, teleology, instinct and the will to live, then turns to the Third Book, on genius, madness, architecture, poetry, history and the metaphysics of music. The supplements to the Fourth Book treat death, heredity, sexual love, the suffering of life, ethics and the denial of the will to live. It ends with an abstract of his essay on the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason and an index.
