[Rev. Rye]

ETA: I just want to say that I appreciate the Schopenhauer quote. The World As Will and Representation is on my reading list, though it will likely be a couple years before I get there. I anxiously await that day. I suspect I will agree with much he says, though at present, I have no more experience of him than your quote. (I have the two volume Dover edition translated by Payne; if you have any suggestions on additional materials or translations to consider in approaching him, please share.)

Well, with regards to translations, it seems that Schopenhauer has suffered, because his writings (except for academic versions you have to pay far out the ass for) tended to have been translated in a... sporadic form: For instance, his Parerga and Paralipomena, which contains some of his best work, has, in the past, been translated into several volumes, but all of these are out of print (except for some PD publishers who seem to only sell through Amazon.com), and there are only two editions in print: a translation by Hollingdale by Penguin entitled Essays and Aphorisms, and a selection by Schirmacher entitled the Essential Schopenhauer.
