The World as Will and Idea

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the philosophical debate between Schopenhauer and Kant, the book delves into the significance of inner experience and the human will. Schopenhauer argues that the will serves as a critical link to understanding the Kantian thing-in-itself, challenging Kant's assertion that such knowledge is unattainable. He posits that the world is a manifestation of a singular Will, with individual wills as its expressions. This perspective expands metaphysical inquiry beyond Kant's constraints while avoiding the extremes of earlier rationalist systems.
