Excerpt from The Unity of Will: Studies of an Irrationalist
The views expressed in the following pages are based upon those of Schopenhauer, contained in his chapter Vom Primat dea Willens im Selbstbewusstsein. As his doctrine of the relation between Intellect and Will differs from that of all other metaphysicians, and has been little studied in England, my first intention was to prefix his essay as an introduction to this work; but finding that a translation in extenso would unduly swell the bulk of the volume, I have been fain to content myself with this reference to it, and with expressing a hope that my readers will draw at the fountain head, and read, if they have not done so before, what has always appeared to me the most lucid and convincing piece of philosophical exposition that modem literature has to show.
