Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher.
 Building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant (17241804), Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism
"Neoplatonism, including the traditions of Plotinus and to a lesser extent Marsilio Ficino, has also been cited as an influence on Schopenhauer
