Schopenhauer's philosophy, at first sight so beautifully rounded,
upon analysis reveals itself as the secret arena of two conflicting
world-views. The present analysis considers the conflict by
confronting Schopenhauer as a disciple-of-sorts of Kant' with
Schopenhauer as Goethe's one-time collaborator on the theory of
colour'. Here the two meet over profound issues which the
Scientific Revolution of the 17th century has ineluctably put
before us: what is the right level at which to apprehend nature;
what is the proper foundation for a consistent ethics; how (if at
all) to arrive at a unified conception of a world broken by modern
science? In this deeply-delving, lucidly written, humane and
erudite study, the history of philosophical currents is blended
with history of science, with history of ideas generally, and (to
elucidate relevant portions of Schopenhauer's biography and
intellectual and social environment) with German history too. The
analysis, while benefiting from the scholarly literature, is
grounded primarily in original research among the collected works
of Schopenhauer, Kant and Goethe, considered in all their
philosophical, scientific, and literary variety.
