Self and World in Schopenhauer's Philosophy

Focusing on Schopenhauer's exploration of the self and its connection to the external world, Janaway offers a critical historical analysis that reveals the philosophical significance of this relationship. The book delves into Schopenhauer's complex interactions with Kant and illustrates how his ideas have shaped the thoughts of later philosophers such as Wittgenstein and Nietzsche. Additionally, it connects Schopenhauer's concepts to contemporary discussions surrounding the nature of the self, enriching the understanding of his lasting impact on philosophy.
