“Perhaps because its potential readership is scarcely larger than the potential authorship, the genre of introductory books on Schopenhauer is of uniformly high quality. The great pessimist would surely be confounded and joyful at the situation, but books whose titles contain little if anything other than the name ‘Schopenhauer’ are generally excellent. I am pleased to report that Robert Wicks's recent effort is no exception.” (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)
"Robert Wicks offers a highly accessible introduction to
Schopenhauer's philosophy, giving prominence to the central ethical
notions of tranquility and wanting less, which he compares in
illuminating fashion with Buddhism."

"Robert Wicks' Schopenhauer is a perspicacious and
perspicuous elucidation of the great pessimist's thoughts. This is
a fine work of philosophical scholarship, valuable for those
approaching Schopenhauer for the first time and for those who have
been with him for years."
-David Cartwright, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
