The world is as a will and a performance. Schopenhauer A.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1869)-an outstanding German philosopher-irrationalist, representative of the philosophy of voluntarism. In his teaching, the ideas and motives of the philosophy of Plato, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and German romanticism were fused. Schopenhauer's philosophy is legitimate to consider as a systemic teaching, addressed to a whole understanding of the world, a single human nature and its behavior. That includes the main philosophical work "Peace as a will and representation." As an application, “criticism of Kantian philosophy” is given, which Schopenhauer considered an important addition to his philosophical work. The book is intended for philosophers, culturalists, a wide circle of readers who are interested in the classical heritage of world philosophical thought.
