Do you understand the problem posed by Kant concerning the nature of the thing-in-itself?

Great. Now do you know how Schopenhauer solved it?

Quote:
It makes sense to say that the individual will underlies individual consciousness, but to say that it unconditionally determines the idea-world as well raises a problem. On the one hand there is the will, which generates things without rhyme or reason, and then there is the world as idea, which has necessity inherent in it and therefore cannot be random. The latter cannot be the product of the former unless you want to refer back to a single primordial creation of the world as idea by the will, a single random act of will from which all else in the world has followed by necessity. Schopenhauer himself does not resolve that problem as far as I know, but then he doesn't have to resolve it because he can fall back on the Kantian assumption that the world itself is inherently contradictory. I like Nietzsche's assessment that the stones with which Schopenhauer built his structure are more valuable than the system itself.

Then the answer to your original question, in all honesty, is 'no'. Sorry about that.

I think you are being a bit pompous. And the dick reference? You are quite the scholar. Vulgar and pompous at the same time.

Re-read Schopenhauer with that problem in mind and you will find it solved. And yes you do need to know the limits of man's knowledge when you claim the problem is that the man doesn't explain to you the unknowable.
Vulgar and pompus. Love it. One of my favorite recollections of reading Schopenhauer is when in Vol II of WWR, Schopenhauer describes some of the behaviours that can end up causing a man to loose his sanity, and shit! if there wasn't an accurate description of Nietzsche there on the page. A genius. I however am not a genius, so I would advise all interested parties to go study at the source.
