Between the two series, Magee released the first edition of the work he regarded as closest to his "academic magnum opus": The Philosophy of Schopenhauer (first published in 1983, substantially revised and extended, 1997).[27][28] This remains one of the most substantial and wide-ranging treatments of the thinker and assesses in-depth Schopenhauer's influence on Wittgenstein, Wagner and other creative writers. Schoenman successfully sued Magee for libel in the UK, with the result that the first printing of the British edition of the book was pulped.[32] A second defamation suit, filed in California against Random House, was settled in 2001.
