Schopenhauer's Critique of Hope

Viac o knihe

Exploring the dual nature of hope as both an emotion and an attitude, this analysis delves into its implications for knowledge, ethics, and metaphysics. It examines how hope can lead to either truth or error based on intellectual probabilities versus willful expectations. The book includes a historical survey of philosophical perspectives on hope, culminating in a critical examination of Schopenhauer's views, particularly in relation to optimism and pessimism, and its role in critiquing ideologies.
