He studied at Gottingen and Berlin, and in 1813 maintained at the university of Jena a thesis entitled Ueber die vierfache Wur- zel des Satzes vom zureichenden Grunde, which contained the germs of his future philosophy. In 1814 he spent the winter at Weimar with Goethe, who initiated him into his own studies on colors, and Schopenhauer in 1816 published Ueber Sehen und Farben. From 1814 to 1818 he lived at Dresden, and brought his philo- sophical views into a system, exhibited in Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (1819 ; English translation by Franz Huffer, London, 1874). (See PHILOSOPHY, vol. xiii., p. 442.) In 1820 he lectured for six months at the university of Berlin, and in 1831 settled at Frankfort. His remaining works are : Ueber den Willen in der Natur (1836); Die Freiheit de menschlichen Willent (1839) and Das Fundament der Moral (1841), which were combined and revised un- der the title Die beulen Grundprobleme der Ethik (I860) ; and Parerga und Paralipome- na (1851), a collection of essays and his most popular work. A complete edition of his works has been published by Julius Frauenstadt (6 vols., Leipsic, 1874), who has also written Schopenhauer, Lichtatrahlen aus seinen Wer- ken, with a biography (3d ed., Leipsic, 1874).
