Schopenhauer in 90 Minutes by Paul Strathern
The thinker, Schopenhauer has a series of complex writingswhich underlie academic discussion around the time of Goethe.Schopenhauer felt that the universe would be blind withoutpurpose or the concept of being. The concept of a free willbrings with it misery and suffering as practical consequences.Hope tends to be free of the egoistic side of man. Goethedebated frequently with Schopenhauer. The fact that all colorsare an amalgum of light and dark lay at the foundation ofGoethe's discussions. Schopenhauer believed that the willpermeated everything. In fact, when the will replaces knowledge-the result is obstinacy and ignorance. As an illustration,the author showed that a true impression of someone could begleaned in letter-writing. This work is good, if you are astudent of Schopenhauer ; and, you find the need to integratehis works into a unified whole for interpretive purposes.
