Partially Examined Life podcast - Schopenhauer - Principle of Sufficient Reason

This is an excerpt from an episode of The Partially Examined Life podcast, discussing Arthur Schopenhauer's "On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason". The book is necessary reading for anyone who hopes to understand the origins of Schopenhauer's theory on how the Will provides access to Kant's thing-in-itself.

You can find the unabridged Schopenhauer podcast, along with dozens of others discussing philosophers from Aristotle to Wittgenstein, at the Partially Examined Life website: http://www.partiallyexaminedlife.com

About PEL: The podcasters were all graduate students in philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin back in the Clinton years. They all left the program at some point before getting their doctorates and have consequently since had time to get outside that whole weird world of academia and reflect on it and the various philosophical topics with a different, and probably much more lazy, perspective.
