Parerga Et Paralipomena

Résumé

Parerga & Paralipomena (Greek, "Appendices & Omissions") is a collection of philosophical reflections by Arthur Schopenhauer published in 1851. The selection was compiled not as a summation of or introduction to Schopenhauer's philosophy, but as augmentary readings for those who'd already embraced it, altho the author maintained it would be comprehensible & of interest to the uninitiated nevertheless. The collection is divided into two volumes, covering 1st the parerga & thereafter the paralipomena to that philosophy.
