The Metaphysical Vision: Arthur Schopenhauer's Philosophy of Art
and Life and Samuel Beckett's Own Way to Make Use of It expands
upon the ideas and theories set forth in the author's Die
eigentlich metaphysische Tatigkeit: uber Schopenhauers asthetik und
ihre Anwendung durch Samuel Beckett, published (in German) in 1982
and hailed by Catharina Wulf in her book The Imperative of
Narration (1997) as an "excellent study" and "the most thorough
enquiry into Beckett and Schopenhauer." In the last years of the
twentieth century, new documents regarding Samuel Beckett's reading
and thinking, especially important notebooks and letters, have
become accessible to scholars. These documents show much more
clearly than could ever be demonstrated previously that Beckett had
a strong, lifelong interest in Schopenhauer's philosophy. There is
no other philosopher to whom Beckett refers more often in his
personal comments throughout the years of his writing up to his
seventies; no other philosopher whose view of life and the world
comes closer to the image of human existence we find in Samuel
Beckett's literary work. The striking similarity in matters of
world view and human life, and especially the evidence obtained
from Beckett's previously unknown notebooks and letters, call for a
close systematic study of the Beckett-Schopenhauer relationship.
Due to its comprehensiveness and in-depth approach, The
Metaphysical Vision is, and will be for many years to come, what
its forerunner was for more than two decades: the most thorough
enquiry into Beckett and Schopenhauer.
