  1. SCHOPENHAUER: “Completing” the work of Kant

  2. On the Phenomenal World: One object is different from another object if it is distinct in time and space. The phenomenal is not a different reality from the noumenal, but it is the same reality known in a different way. Phenomenal forces directly have nothing to do with mind or consciousness. The Empirical world is without meaning; therefore, it is nothing at all.

  3. On the Noumenal World: It is not possible for the noumenal to cause the phenomenal. Free will is caused from within us and is the cause of our bodily movements. Cosmic energy has nothing to do with our consciousness; therefore, it is inconceivable.

  4. On Ethics : We have a sense of what we “ought” to do because of compassion. Compassion helps us to understand the suffering of others and is the foundation of ethics. Compassion also is the foundation of interpersonal relationships and love.

  5. On the Human Condition: Throughout man’s life, he is a slave of insatiable desires. Because man cannot be satisfied, he suffers. Man can escape suffering by escaping through his experience with the arts: music, sculpture, painting, poetry, etc. Each man’s life is an inevitable tragedy, ending in death.

  6. Key Question (for philo-log): Can one look at human history and see anything but a bloody reality? Can one think of any specific examples in which this has NEVER been the case?
