By Stephen Sheldon Colvin

Book Overview

Schopenhauer�������s Doctrine Of The Thing-In-Itself And His Attempt To Relate It To The World Of Phenomena is a book written by Stephen Sheldon Colvin in 1897. The book explores the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, a German philosopher who believed that reality is divided into two parts: the world of phenomena, which is the world we experience through our senses, and the world of the thing-in-itself, which is the true nature of reality that lies beyond our sensory experience.Colvin�������s book focuses on Schopenhauer�������s attempt to relate the thing-in-itself to the world of phenomena. Schopenhauer believed that the thing-in-itself is the ultimate reality, and that the world of phenomena is merely a manifestation of it. However, he also believed that it is impossible for us to fully understand the thing-in-itself, as our senses and intellect are limited.Colvin explores Schopenhauer�������s ideas in depth, examining his views on metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. He also discusses the influence of Schopenhauer�������s philosophy on other thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud.Overall, Schopenhauer�������s Doctrine Of The Thing-In-Itself And His Attempt To Relate It To The World Of Phenomena is a comprehensive study of one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, metaphysics, or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
