reviewed The Philosophy of Schopenhauer on December 09, 2014 The Philosophy of Schopenhauer
I own quite a few books on philosophy, but this is the one that completely blew my brain apart. Putting Schopenhauer's transcendental idealist philosophy into the context of the empiricism/idealism dichotomy, in particular relation to Kant, Bryan Magee takes you through the arguments in a far more lucid and engaging way than many of those other books dealing with the history of metaphysics.
Of course I was reading it because it's a brilliant insight into Schopenhauer's overall philosophy (his notion of the will to life, his aesthetics, his overall pessimism), but following and thinking about how we can perceive the world, is it ever knowable, and the ultimate mystery of the noumena world, really had me reeling from the seemingly obvious notion that we exist, things exist, and the crazy notion that anything exists to begin with.
This is a truly mind-bending book.
