Schopenhauer

Viac o knihe

Neeley (philosophy, St. Francis U.) attempts to address the claims of inconsistency leveled against Schopenhauer's philosophical thinking. He defends Schopenhauer against a number of charges and argues against some attempts to absolve the philosopher of the charge of inconsistency through alterations of his views, aiming to clarify the meaning of his work on the basis of a close and detailed reading of The World as Will and Representation and his lesser-known works, as well as the English-language secondary literature on Schopenhauer. The volume's six chapters are all based on previously published articles which appeared in Idealistic Studies , Schopenhauer-Jehrbuch , and Diálogos . Double-spaced text.
