This book is an introduction to the philosophy of Arthur
Schopenhauer, written in a lively, personal style. Hannan
emphasizes the peculiar inconsistencies and tensions in
Schopenhauer's thought - he was torn between idealism and realism,
and between denial and affirmation of the individual will. In
addition to providing a useful summary of Schopenhauer's main
ideas, Hannan connects Schopenhauer's thought with ongoing debates
in philosophy. According to Hannan, Schopenhauer was struggling
half-consciously to break altogether with Kant and transcendental
idealism; the anti-Kantian features of Schopenhauer's thought
possess the most lasting value. Hannan defends panpsychist
metaphysics of will, comparing it with contemporary views according
to which causal power is metaphysically basic. Hannan also defends
Schopenhauer's ethics of compassion against Kant's ethics of pure
reason, and offers friendly amendments to Schopenhauer's theories
of art, music, and "salvation." She also illuminates the deep
connection between Schopenhauer and the early Wittgenstein, as well
as Schopenhauer's influence on existentialism and psychoanalytic
thought.
