Author: CHRISTOPHER JANAWAY
Title: Self and World in Schopenhauer's Philosophy
Description: Clarendon Press, 1999. Paperback. Pp: 378. Arthur Schopenhauer's central philosophical achievement was his account of the self and its relation to the world of objects. Embracing epistemological, metaphysical, psychological, and physiological concerns, his dynamic system of thought reveals in a unique way the serious philosophicalconflicts that can arise when we think about the self. This book is the first full-length study of this theme, and Christopher Janaway's approach to it is historical, yet at the same time has a clear philosophical emphasis. He explores in unusual depth Schopenhauer's often ambivalent relation toKant, seeing him as a pertinent critic, especially on the issues of idealism and free will. He shows that, while accepting transcendental idealism and the notion of a pure knowing 'I', Schopenhauer was always concerned to establish a rival view of the self as willing: primarily active, embodied,organic, and manifesting pre-rational ends and drives. ISBN: 9780198250036. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
