On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason ref In German, ber die vierfache Wurzel des Satzes vom zureichenden Grunde ref was originally published as a doctoral dissertation in 1813. The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer revised this important work and re published it in 1847. Throughout all Schopenhauer s later works he consistently refers his readers to this short treatise as the necessary beginning point for a full understanding of his entire system. Background Historical In January 1813, after suffering their disastrous defeat in Russia, the first remnants of Napoleon s Grande Arm e were arriving in Berlin. The sick and wounded quickly filled up the hospitals and the risk of an epidemic grew high. A patriotic, militaristic spirit inflamed the city and most of the populace, philosophers and students included, entertained the hope that the French yoke could be violently thrown off. All this rapidly became intolerable to Schopenhauer who ultimately fled the city, retreating to the small town of Rudolstadt near Weimar . It was here, from June to November of that year, while staying at an inn, that the work was composed. After submitting it as his doctoral dissertation he was awarded a PhD from the University of Jena in absentia.
