Robert Wicks' Reader's Guide is impressive in very many ways. It demonstrates a mastery of the Schopenhauer corpus and an ability to explain complex arguments in a clear, insightful and accessible fashion, without oversimplification. I believe that it will become essential reading for students wanting to grasp the rich thought of Schopenhauer's masterwork.
