- Summary:
- This work explores Schopenhauer's ethics and central aspects of his philosophy of value, discussing his conception of the individual character, his determinism, his depiction of the states of virtue and salvation, and the value that life has when understood in Schopenhauer's terms. The book also investigates the nature and depth of Schopenhauer's pessimism, and the extent to which it is rooted in his metaphysics.
