Volume four with an essay about the will in nature, and an essay on "the two basic problems of ethics". The final two volumes contain Parerga und Paralipomena, philosophical reflections by Schopenhauer. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "Arthur Schopenhauer". With work in aesthetics, ascetics, and reason, Schopenhauer's philosophy was influential for Nietszche, Bergson, and for countless literary figures (including Borges). SEP cites his ethics as one Schopenhauer's boldest ideas. His ethical framework does not require the existence of a deity for it to be justified. Much of twentieth-century art finds its roots in Schopenhauer's writings. Each volume with a bookplate, light rubbing to the extremities and the joints and corners touched up.
