	Arthur Schopenhauer (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Schopenhauer concurs that hypothesizing a thing-in-itself as the cause of our sensations amounts to a constitutive application and projection of the concept of causality beyond its legitimate scope, for according to Kant himself, the concept of causality only supplies knowledge when it is applied within the field of possible experience, and not outside of it.
		Schopenhauer discovers more peaceful states of mind by directing his everyday, practically-oriented consciousness towards more extraordinary, universal and less-individuated states of mind, since he believes that the violence that a person experiences, is proportional to the degree to which that person's consciousness is individuated and objectifying.
		For Schopenhauer, according to the true nature of things, each person has all the sufferings of the world as his or her own, for it is the same inner human nature that ultimately bears all of the pain and all of the guilt.

	[No title]
		Schopenhauer also argues that although the will may be manifested by the actions of particular individuals, the actions of those individuals may be motivated by their own ideas or perceptions.
		Schopenhauer argues that the world is an idea insofar as it is an object of perception, but that the world is the will insofar as all of our perceptions of the world are acts of conscious or unconscious will.
		Schopenhauer also argues that the will cannot properly be described as conscious, because to be conscious is to be conscious of something, and thus consciousness implies a relation between a subject and an object.

	Island of Freedom - Arthur Schopenhauer
		Schopenhauer offered his lectures at the same hours as Hegel, and found that no students could be won from him, which eventually ended his university career.
		Schopenhauer was the first major European philosopher to make a point of atheism; however, he admired the asceticism of Christianity and Buddhism, declaring that after removing the dogmas these religions have as their philosophical underpinning the abolition of the will.
		Schopenhauer's strongest influence was on Nietzsche, Freud, Wittgenstein, and musician Richard Wagner, whose Tristan and Isolde puts to music the blind will.

	Schopenhauer
		Schopenhauer possessed great literary and rhetorical skills in his presentation of a bewitching philosophical construct with perceptive metaphors and penetrating insights that have been echoed, reinterpreted and elaborated by subsequent thinkers and artists in the late 19th and 20th century, and indeed far beyond the tiny circle of the professors of philosophy.
		Schopenhauer arrived at the same conclusions as the eastern thinkers but through the road of the western philosophers, and was the very first to actually represent their insights to the western audience but clothed in the garb of philosophy rather than mystic balderdash.
		Schopenhauer's sense of morality and philosophy of religion retains much of the insights of the major religions, yet he was a staunch atheist, and the first of all philosophers to be openly so.

	little blue light - Arthur Schopenhauer
		Schopenhauer's father gave his son the choice between a very dreary and substandard education and a chance to tour Europe alone, and then apprentice in a merchant office upon returning from the trip.
		Schopenhauer was overjoyed and immediately enrolled at the University of Göttingen as a medical student 1809, and then continued his studies at the recently founded University of Berlin two years later.
		Schopenhauer quickly came to the conclusion that he had mastered the great philosophical questions far better than his professors had, though the professors themselves recognized no extraordinary talent in the young man. Schopenhauer had fallen under the spell of Professor Schulze at Göttingen who advised Schopenhauer to restrict his reading strictly to Kant and Plato.

	Arthur Schopenhauer
		Hence Schopenhauer's careful use of the singular rather than the plural when referring to the "thing-in-itself." Kant left his "Copernican Revolution" incomplete by describing the ordinary objects of experience as phenomena while leaving the impression that in an absolute sense they were only subjective, with things-in-themselves as the "real" objects.
		Schopenhauer's thought there is refined by his reading of the Upanishads, where the Br.hadâran.yaka Upanis.ad distinguishes the Subject of Knowledge, the Unknown Knower, from all Objects of Knowledge, from everything Known.
		For Schopenhauer, the body is known immediately and the perception of other objects is spontaneously projected, in a remaining fragment of Kant's theory of synthesis and perception, from the sensations present in the sense organs of the body onto the external objects understood as the causes of those sensations.

	Schopenhauer und Buddhismus
		Obwohl nicht alle Anhänger Schopenhauers sich selbst als Buddhisten bezeichnen würden, ist es eine Tatsache, daß viele von ihnen über Schopenhauer zum Buddhismus gekommen sind.
		Vor allem für die Verbreitung des Buddhis- mus in Deutschland hat sich Schopenhauer zweifellos große Verdienste erworben.
		Dennoch ist die Frage berechtigt, ob die Übereinstimmung der Philosophie Schopenhauers mit dem Buddhismus tatsächlich so weitgehend ist, wie Schopenhauer annahm.
