Editions

Arthur Schopenhauer, Zürcher Ausgabe. Werke in zehn Bänden (Zürich: Diogenes, 1977), vols. 1–2 (Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung I), whose text follows Arthur Hübscher's edition of the Sämtliche Werke, i.e. the third edition of 1859, the last of Schopenhauer's hand

Works in the map are listed under Works. Passages are cited by book and section (§) of Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, which is the canonical locator across all editions, and, as an aid, by the page of the Zürcher Ausgabe (ZA) as zeno.org marks it. The appendix, which has no sections, is cited by ZA page and by the opening words of the paragraph. Schopenhauer's text is in the public domain; the project's translations are its own and marked so. Passages added on 2026-10-13 (§§ 24–25) are from Projekt Gutenberg-DE's transcription of Grisebach's edition (Reclam 1892), zeno.org being unreachable, and carry Grisebach's page instead of the ZA page; each says so. On 2026-10-14 zeno.org answered again, and the three passages of the appendix added that day (ZA II 513–514, 516, 536–537) are from it, with ZA pages; where its transcription has a slip (»Kam« for »Kant«, »hohem« for »höhern«) the original keeps the letters, the passage names the slip, and the reading was checked against Grisebach's text at Projekt Gutenberg-DE.
