Pagera Editor's Note
This volume contains two works by Arthur Schopenhauer in the English translation by Mme. Karl Hillebrand for Bohn's Philosophical Library, in its revised edition of 1907. On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, his doctoral dissertation of 1813, revised in 1847, analyses the four forms of explanation: of becoming, of knowing, of being in space and time, and of acting. On the Will in Nature, published in 1836, gathers evidence from the natural sciences of his day for his doctrine that the will is the inner nature of all things. Schopenhauer regarded the first essay as a necessary introduction to his main work.
