Dr White's book is the first to be written on Schopenhauer's important foundation-work, On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason.
It presents the arguments and analyses of Schopenhauer's work in systematic form and assesses the worth of those arguments and analyses, with particular emphasis on their positive merits. Schopenhauer divides the phenomenal world into four classes of object, discussing each of these in turn, and the chapters of White's book generally follow that order. But the book also contains a chapter of introduction showing how the Fourfold Root fits into Schopenhauer's general scheme of philosophical thought, and an appendix outlining the historical background to Schopenhauer's views.
Given that it is the only work of its kind, White's book will be of use and interest to all students, and it is written in such a way that it should be intelligible to the beginner in Schopenhauer as well as helpful to the more established student.

On Schopenhauer's Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason.
Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. It seems like an expansive coverage of French philosophy; what inspired certain ideas, how do French thinkers link into each other, etc. I particularly liked it as an historical guide.
It seemed to try to do both, be an historical guide and a philosophical summary: it went deep into detail about a few particular arguments, especially about the subject going from Kant into the early French philosophers. I get how important that part is to the rest of the French philosophy but it was jarring and difficult to follow, but then the mode changed. The book did this often, suddenly going into detail about a philosophical argument from the historical portion. My gripe is what is left out or what isn't elaborated on. Huge focus is paid to the Kantian process but little to explain e.g. being-in-the-world.
Also RIP Beauvoir, the book explains that she was intelligent and impactful but only goes on to talk about the second sex, and very briefly at that.
