Editorial Reviews

Schopenhauer's works place him among such giants of the German intellectual tradition as Kant and Hegel. This is the first of a five-volume collection of surviving notes from his early philosophical writings, many never before published, which provide a unique insight into his intellectual development and emergence as a major philosopher of his time. Volume 1 traces the evolution of his idea of the ``Will'' from its earliest conception to more finished form in his masterpiece, World as Will and Representation (1819), which greatly influenced the young Nietzsche. Extensive introductions, notes, and indexes aid serious study of the published writings. For larger academic libraries. Raymond Frey, Bergen Community Coll., Paramus, N.J.
