Originally published in 1988 Arthur Schopenhauer's English
Schooling examines the famous German philosopher Arthur
Schopenhauer, and his image of England and the influences and
experiences which formed that image, notably his visit to England
in 1803. His philosophy, when he came to formulate it, showed the
pervasive influence of his English reading, was riddled with
allusions to his three months at Wimbledon School, and was indeed
in many 'English' style; above all it was a philosophy designed as
a refutation of 'Christianity' as understood and practised by his
English headmaster, who is the invisible bete noire behind it. In
the course of the book two major figures who have hitherto been
known only by name are identified and their lives related. The book
also examines many background figures in Schopenhauer's English
diary and the letters addressed to him in 1803. This book, which is
based on a wide variety of hitherto unknown material from many
different sources, will permanently modify our view of his
philosophy; it also has important implications for educationalists
and for all interest in the history of ideas.
