Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental questions of existence, exploring the nature of reality and our perception of it. Drawing inspiration from the philosophical traditions of India, Greece, and Christianity, the author presents a compelling argument for a transcendental perspective on the world. The book challenges the limitations of empirical knowledge, arguing that our understanding of the world is inherently shaped by the inherent structures of our minds. This leads the author to explore the nature of space, time, and causality as fundamental a priori forms of our intellect. The book investigates the role of the understanding and reason in shaping our perception, ultimately positing the concept of Will as the underlying essence of reality. This exploration examines the nature of the human condition, including the source of suffering and the possibility of finding meaning and purpose in a world that may not inherently offer them. By synthesizing philosophical traditions from across history, the book offers a framework for understanding the complexities of human experience and the nature of reality, ultimately suggesting that a deeper understanding of our minds can unlock profound insights into the nature of the universe and our place within it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from The Elements of Metaphysics: Being a Guide for Lectures and Private Use

This standpoint OF the reconciliation OF all contradictions has been attained in the main, we believe, 'by mankind in the Idealism founded by Kant and wrought out to perfection by his disciple Schopenhauer. For the truth of this Idealism is the more indubit ably confirmed, the more deeply we penetrate into it, by the threefold harmony which we meet in it, - harmony with itself, harmony with nature, and harmony with the thoughts of the wisest of all times. Moreover it is the Kantian distinction between phenomena and the thing-in-itself, and this distinction alone.
