De què tracta
La tesi doctoral de Schopenhauer, del 1813, que ell mateix considerava la porta obligatoria per entendre'l, aparellada aqui amb el seu assaig posterior sobre la voluntat a la natura.
Context i història
La tesi diu que el principi de rao suficient —tot te un perque— no es un de sol sino quatre coses diferents que la filosofia ha confos: la causa d'un fet fisic, el fonament d'una conclusio logica, el perque d'una veritat matematica i el motiu d'una accio. Barrejar-los produeix la major part dels malentesos de la metafisica. Schopenhauer va insistir sempre que qui llegis «El mon com a voluntat i representacio» sense haver llegit abans aquest text no l'entendria. «Sobre la voluntat a la natura», del 1836, es un llibre molt posterior i de tema distint: hi busca a les ciencies del seu temps confirmacions de la seva metafisica. Val la pena saber que son dues obres separades i de dates ben allunyades.

them, I have necessarily encountered many and great difficulties. His meaning, though always clearly expressed, is not always easy to seize, even for his countrymen; as a foreigner, therefore, I may often have failed to grasp, let alone adequately to render, that meaning. In this case besides, the responsibility for any want of perspicuity cannot be shifted by the translator on to the Author; since the consummate perfection of Schopenhauer's prose is universally recognised, even by those who reject, or at least who do not share, his views. An eminent German writer of our time has not hesitated to rank him immediately after Lessing and Göthe as the third greatest German prose-writer, and only quite recently a German professor, in a speech delivered with the intent of demolishing Schopenhauer's philosophy, was reluctantly obliged to admit that his works would remain on account of their literary value. Göthe himself expressed admiration for the clearness of exposition in Schopenhauer's chief work and for the beauty of his style. The chief obstacle I have encountered in translating these Essays, did not therefore consist in the obscurity of the Author's style, nor even in the difficulty of finding appropriate terms wherewith to convey his meaning; although at times certainly the want of complete precision in our philosophical terminology made itself keenly felt and the selection was often far from easy: it lay rather in the great difference in the way of thinking and of expressing their thoughts which lies between the two nations. The regions of German and English thought are indeed separated by a gulf, which at first seems impassable, yet which must be bridged over by some means or other, if a right comprehension is to be achieved.…
