Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Schopenhauer in Its Relation to His System of Metaphysics Schopenhauer developed his system on lines that originated in and emanated from the labors Of Kant. The problems Of both philosophers are metaphysical. All such problems take their rise in psychology, which is at once their source and a con tributor to their, solutions. Neither philosopher was aware how much he depended on the complications Of an introspective men tal science. In tracing the relation between Schopenhauer and Kant, it is instructive, as an introduction to the study Of the foun dations Of the two systems, to determine the respective views Of these philosophers on the subject of pyschology.

Excerpt: ... part I. beginnings of the world as will and idea. Chapter I. Schopenhauer's Impersonal World Ground And Its PsychoLogical Basis. "What is this world of perception besides being my idea? Is that of which I am conscious only as idea, exactly like my own body, of which I am doubly conscious, in one aspect as idea, in another aspect as wtllY'1 The world of perception is through and through will. Will is only blind force in nature. In the lowest form of animal life it is impulse without the guiding ideas; but in the higher form of brute creation it develops intellect out of feeling First comes feeling, then sensation, as containing the objective element, and finally perception, the basis of all knowledge. Will is primary and irrational, the world-ground. Intelligence is secondary, but through it will separates itself from feeling and becomes a rational factor, governing itself by ideas instead of being controlled by impulsive emotions. Schopenhauer gives us the reality of the world in action. Only in activity can the will manifest itself as idea, and, in the activity of self-consciousness, the idea becomes a form of knowledge. The knowledge of our body is given in a dual sense. We know it as both will and idea. Other bodies are known only "aS-idea; buTwe attribute to them the inner principle, will, which we have discovered in ourselves. The nature of things is will. In the higher forms of animal life, the will is determined by ideas. In organic life will is moved by stimulation. In organic life it is a mechanical process. "Gnothi seauton!" If we did not know ourselves as will we could not get inside things for a comprehension of nature.

This book was released on with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation from the original German manuscript, with a new Afterword by the Translator. Schopenhauer's "Attempt on Spirit-Seeing and What is Connected with It" delves into the realms of spiritual phenomena and extrasensory perception in response to Kant's "Dreams of a Ghost-Seer". In this work, Schopenhauer analyzes claims of spiritual experiences, such as visions and apparitions, with a critical eye. He examines the human tendency to believe in supernatural occurrences and delves into the psychology behind such beliefs. This work has been a subject of interest for scholars studying the intersection of philosophy and mysticism. Schopenhauer's skepticism towards spirit-seeing and his insistence on empirical evidence have contributed to rational inquiry into paranormal experiences, making this work an essential read for those interested in the intersection of philosophy, psychology, and spirituality. "The whole demonology and spiritology of antiquity and the Middle Ages, as well as their related view of magic, is based on the still unchallenged realism, which was finally shaken by Cartesius. Only the idealism that gradually matured in more recent times leads us to the point of view from which we can reach a correct judgment about all those things, thus also about visions and apparitions of spirits."

Download or read book On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A disciple of Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer took the Kantian concept that all knowledge derives from experience and broadened it to conclude that our experience of the world is necessarily subjective and influenced by our own intellect and biases, and that reality is but an extension of our own will. This is the basis of all of Schopenhauer's thinking, and here, he offers an essential foundation for understanding and appreciating all of his work. First produced as his doctoral dissertation in 1813, these two essays-"On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason" and "On the Will in Nature"-were revised and published by the author in 1847; this 1889 edition represents its first translation into the English language. Students of philosophy and of 19th-century culture will find this a demanding but satisfying read.The writings of German philosopher ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER (1788-1860) were a profound influence on art and aesthetics, music and literature in the 19th century. Among his many writings, The World as Will and Idea (1819) is considered his masterpiece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In boundless space countless shining spheres, about each of which, and illuminated by its light, there revolve a dozen or so of smaller ones, hot at the core and covered with a hard, cold crust, upon whose surface there have been generated from a mouldy film beings which live and know—this is what presents itself to us in experience as the truth, the real, the world. Yet for a thinking being it is a precarious position to stand upon one of those numberless spheres moving freely in boundless space without knowing whence or whither, and to be only one of innumerable similar beings who throng and press and toil, ceaselessly and quickly arising and passing away in time, which has no beginning and no end; moreover, nothing permanent but matter alone and the recurrence of the same varied organised forms, by means of certain ways and channels which are there once for all. All that empirical science can teach is only the more exact nature and law of these events. But now at last modern philosophy especially through Berkeley and Kant, has called ] to mind that all this is first of all merely a phenomenon of the brain, and is affected with such great, so many, and such different subjective conditions that its supposed absolute reality vanishes away, and leaves room for an entirely different scheme of the world, which consists of what lies at the foundation of that phenomenon, i.e., what is related to it as the thing in itself is related to its mere manifestation. “The world is my idea” is, like the axioms of Euclid, a proposition which every one must recognise as true as soon as he understands it; although it is not a proposition which every one understands as soon as he hears it. To have brought this proposition to clear consciousness, and in it the problem of the relation of the ideal and the real, i.e., of the world in the head to the world outside the head, together with the problem of moral freedom, is the distinctive feature of modern philosophy. For it was only after men had spent their labour for thousands of years upon a mere philosophy of the object that they discovered that among the many things that make the world so obscure and doubtful the first and chiefest is this, that however immeasurable and massive it may be, its existence yet hangs by a single thread; and this is the actual consciousness in which it exists. This condition, to which the existence of the world is irrevocably subject, marks it, in spite of all empirical reality, with the stamp of ideality, and therefore of mere ...
Download or read book Self and World in Schopenhauer s Philosophy written by Christopher Janaway and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1989-03-09 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Schopenhauer's central philosophical achievement was his account of the self and its relation to the world of objects. Embracing epistemological, metaphysical, psychological, and physiological concerns, his dynamic system of thought reveals in a unique way the serious philosophical conflicts that can arise when we think about the self. This book is the first full-length study of this theme, and Christopher Janaway's approach to it is historical, yet at the same time has a clear philosophical emphasis. He explores in unusual depth Schopenhauer's often ambivalent relation to Kant, seeing him as a pertinent critic, especially on the issues of idealism and free will. He shows that, while accepting transcendental idealism and the notion of a pure knowing 'I', Schopenhauer was always concerned to establish a rival view of the self as willing: primarily active, embodied, organic, and manifesting pre-rational ends and drives. In the final part of the book Janaway highlights the influence of Schop

Download or read book On the Freedom of the Human Will written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation from the original German 1839 "Über die Freiheit des menschlichen Willens" manuscript, with a new Afterword by the Translator. Schopenhauer's "On the Freedom of the Human Will" is a seminal work where Schopenhauer expounds on his deterministic view of human agency. He vehemently rejects the notion of free will, arguing that human actions are governed by the causal chain of events and the underlying will. This work represents Schopenhauer's vigorous defense of his philosophical stance against the prevailing belief in human autonomy. His critique of free will has inspired philosophical debates that continue to this day, impacting disciplines such as moral psychology, neuroscience, and jurisprudence. Schopenhauer's argument for determinism challenges conventional notions of personal responsibility and has profound implications for our understanding of human behavior and moral accountability.

Book excerpt: Religion: A Dialogue by Arthur Schopenhauer is about the philosophy involved with religion. Schopenhauer turns a critical eye to the topic of God based on his habits of thinking about the world and producing fact-based theories. Excerpt: "Where you have masses of people of crude susceptibilities and clumsy intelligence, sordid in their pursuits and sunk in drudgery, religion provides the only means of proclaiming and making them feel the high import of life.

Download or read book On Human Nature written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by 谷月社. This book was released on 2015-11-22 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following essays are drawn from the chapters entitled Zur Ethik and Zur Rechtslehre und Politik which are to be found both in Schopenhauer's Parerga and in his posthumous writings. As in my previous volumes, so also in this, I have omitted a few passages which appeared to me to be either antiquated or no longer of any general interest. For convenience' sake I have divided the original chapters into sections, which I have had to name; and I have also had to invent a title which should express their real scope. The reader will find that it is not so much Ethics and Politics that are here treated, as human nature itself in various aspects.
Download or read book Young Schopenhauer written by Alessandro Novembre and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed reconstruction of the origins of Schopenhauer's philosophy and its inherent aporias. It is divided into four parts. The first section delves into the pietistic upbringing of young Schopenhauer and his introduction to philosophy through the teachings of G.E. Schulze, as well as his study of Plato, Schelling, and Kant. Faced with the "negative" outcomes of Kant's criticism, particularly the unknowability of the thing-in-itself, young Schopenhauer initially engaged with Fichte and Schelling (this is covered in the second part of the volume). However, Schopenhauer formed the opinion that these two philosophers, instead of upholding and expanding upon Kant's ideas, ultimately diverge from them. That notwithstanding, he implicitly inherited certain pivotal concepts from Fichte and Schelling. The third part explores Schopenhauer's initial endeavor to formulate a new metaphysics after Kant, known as the theory of "better consciousness." In the fourth part, the book demonstrates how the internal contradictions within that theory and Schopenhauer's transformative encounter with Indian wisdom (Hinduism and Buddhism) lead him to abandon his first attempt at a system and develop his metaphysics of will. The last and most substantial chapter of the book focuses on the author's analysis of the inherent aporias within Schopenhauer's mature system, approaching them from a genetic perspective.
