Examines the life and times of the nineteenth century philosopher, and discusses the major points of his philosophy With equal attention to both the life and work of his subject, Safranski places the visionary skeptic in the context of philosophical predecessors and contemporaries like Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, and explores the sources of Schopenhauer’s profound alienation from their “secularized religion of reason.” Translator's Note
