This volume is a unique collection of philosophical essays on various aspects of Schopenhauer's understanding of the nature and character of the world through the classical philosophies of the Vedanta and Buddhism and classical and modern thinkers like Bhartṛhari, Tagore, and Wittgenstein. It includes reflective insights about Schopenhauer and the metaphysics of the world, the self, and morality from scholars who have pioneered the philosophical study of the relation between Schopenhauer and Indian schools of thoughts and intellectual history. This insightful volume is a good academic resource for further research in comparative philosophy of Schopenhauer and the Indian tradition.  Praise for the Volume Schopenhauer's metaphysics of the World Will stands out in the history of Western Philosophy as having the deepest affinity to Indian philosophical tradition. [The] contributions of this … volume … shed new light on this affinity and identify its roots in a shared morality of solidarity and compassion. Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Dieter Birnbacher, Institut für Philosophie  Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf This rich and varied volume places Schopenhauer's thinking against the Asian and especially Indian background which he himself identified as the source of inspiration for much of his philosophy of the world and the self as will and representation. Prof. Dr. Günter Zöller, Professor of Philosophy, University of Munich.

Arthur Schopenhauer was the first Western thinker who incorporated thoughts of the Upanishads in his own philosophy. His appreciation for Indian philosophy and culture is quite well known. Presently serious research work is going on in different disciplines in different academic institutions and universities in the West to examine the influence of Indian philosophy and culture in the philosophical thinking of Germany, particularly in relation to Arthur Schopenhauer and vice versa. This book provides a common platform for interaction to the scholars from East and West to express their views on the link between Eastern and Western philosophy. It significantly contributes to a better understanding not only of the connection between Schopenhauer and Indian philosophical systems but also of the increasing interest in this relation. The book includes papers of eminent scholars. The papers shed new light on the relationship between Schopenhauer's philosophy and the different aspects of Indian philosophy and culture, and thus offer a rich source of research material.
