'The World as Will and Representation' is a work by the outstanding German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (German: Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788–1860). Human nature is a source of suffering, since at the basis of any action lies an unquenchable thirst for life. Great passions give rise to great languor. Other works by Schopenhauer include 'On the Will in Nature', 'On the Freedom of the Will', 'On the Basis of Morality', 'The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics' and 'On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason.' Arthur Schopenhauer was called a 'pessimistic philosopher': he believed the existing world to be 'the worst possible,' in contrast to the German thinker Gottfried Leibniz.
