Více o knize

The book delves into the interplay between Schopenhauer's philosophy and transcendental idealism, highlighting the Kantian influences on his pessimism. It identifies four types of knowledge to illustrate how Schopenhauer's epistemology enriches his metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of religion, aesthetics, and asceticism. Each domain reveals a specific aspect of pessimism that addresses common paradoxes in his thought. Ultimately, it argues for Schopenhauer's position as a legitimate successor to Kant, offering insights into his philosophical coherence.
