Coles Between Will and Suffering, The Life of Arthur Schopenhauer at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This novel weaves together historical fact and intimate fiction to explore how Schopenhauer's philosophy was not born in lecture halls, but forged through lived suffering. A cold and ambitious mother, a father whose silent despair ended in mysterious death, decades of intellectual humiliation, and a solitude he could never fully escape — all of these became the raw material for one of the most honest philosophical systems ever conceived.
At its heart, the book follows Arthur's discovery that the world is driven by a blind, insatiable force he called Will — and that human suffering is its inevitable consequence. Yet the novel refuses to end in despair. Through art, compassion, a beloved poodle named Atman, and the quiet wisdom of Eastern philosophy, Arthur finds not happiness, but something rarer: clarity.
This is a story for anyone who has ever felt that the world does not quite fit them — and who suspects that this very feeling might be the beginning of understanding.
