Title: Great work, terrible translation
Review: I am not a philosophy scholar, nor do I speak German, but even I am qualified to dismiss this edition. I thoroughly enjoyed the content of the work, where it was legible. But several basic practices were not followed. First, there are long sections of garbled text, as though they printed a corrupted word processor file. That's rubbish. Secondly, there is no consistent practice regarding Greek and Latin quotations in the original: sometimes they are translated into English, sometimes not, and if it's French, forget about it. As anyone who has read Schopenhauer will know, this is no minor flaw. If your work is written for specialists, then pick a design and stick with it. Perhaps I will have better luck with the Payne translation.
