What it is about
The third and last volume, closing the whole with the aesthetics and the denial of the will.
Context and history
This English translation spreads across three volumes what in German is two: the book of 1818 and the volume of supplements Schopenhauer added in 1844, twenty-six years later. The supplements are not minor appendices: they run as long as the original work, and his ideas are often better read there, since by then he is writing without having to persuade anyone of the architecture. He asked himself that the whole be read twice.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
