- Arthur Schopenhauer is one of the most influential German philosophers. His philosophy of the Will has influenced thinkers and scientists such as Sigmund Freud, Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, and even Albert Einstein. In many ways, Schopenhauer will also anticipate existentialism. In this video, the first in a series on the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, we take a deep dive into the first part of Schopenhauer's magnum opus: The World as Will and Representation. We look at Schopenhauer's metaphysical system, his indebtedness to Immanuel Kant, and his philosophy of the Will.
In subsequent videos we'll discuss Schopenhauer's ethics and aesthetics. If you want to be notified when these are uploaded, please subscribe to the channel.

Very good. Found this on reddit, and I'm glad that I clicked. Subscribed
Looking forward to part 2!
Up next week!
I am doing my thesis on Schopenhauer... using his system of thought to help answer what science happens. From every scholarly article I read, from every video I've skimmed, this is the most accurate. Well done.
I find myself keep coming back to this video over and over!
Glad to hear it!
What I seek is seeking me
I haven't watched something this good in a while! Thanks!
That's very nice to hear, thank your for that.
Thank you for making this, look forward to the next one!

Thank you for creating this. Looking forward to your next video. Found this via Reddit.
Thanks for the comment, part 2 will be up next week.
Great video, looking forward to the next!
Part 2 is due next Wednesday!
nicely done! I do believe it would be nice to have a little more variety in the background clips. Maybe use more natural scenes or artwork?
or maybe I should just listen haha
Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind. You're right about the variety.
Great video. Thank you for doing this. If you continue content like this (with a tiny bit of improvement) you're channel will surely grow
Thanks a lot. I try to make each video better than the last.. Stay tuned.
I agree. This was very educational! Thank you
certainly a good explanation. i will be watching the other 2 videos. thanks for this work.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video found it on reddit, keep up the good work ! 💯
Appreciate it!
Very good video, keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
I love you world ghost dude! Love getting to listen to your work as I fall asleep. I struggle with chronic anhedonia and some other biological conditions. Philosophy is the only thing keeping me going.
I like this! You are very underated
Thank you for this.
Thanks for this. I never could make it through his book. This finally makes it digestible 🙏
You're very welcome!
Very well explained! Thank you!
Welcome!
Great video!
It would be nice if you can add subtitles for non native english speakes :)
I'm looking foward to part 2 !
Good suggestion, I'll try get subs up soon.
Great work. I found this easy to follow. That's no small feat when it comes to me and philosophers.
I'm glad to hear it, thank you. That's what I try to achieve with these videos.
Right my friend!! But we are trying...
great description
The “you are the world” part of the video at the end sounds remarkably like heidigger’s conception of being-in-the-world.
Very nice overview!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you!
I would argue that the “will to life” is in actuality a “will to multiplicity,” and that suffering is the friction caused by the inevitable return to unity. Therefore existence is a cycle of vain attempts of aspects of the will striving for individuality, and being dragged back into the generalized unity.
The biggest questions left from this are what is the impetus for this constant striving for multiplicity, and can any aspect ever achieve it? And if they can, what would then happen?
Stay tuned for part 2. It deals with exactly this comment.
Brilliant, Sir!
Thanks!
perfect, thanks!
Welcome!
Awesome video, would like to see one about Nietzsche
Coming soon!
Next video!! Part 2 :D
Next week! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for this illustrations may be we need to hear more about GW libnitz
Waiting for pt2.
It's coming!
Too pessimistic lacks depth and understanding of functioning of universe
@@WeltgeistYTread and study rin depth bgavath geetha and meinkampff of hitler
Very cool, are you Dutch btw?
That's my native language yes along with German. I should work on the accent if you can tell..
He who knows das 1 becomes de 1!
Oneness within oneself brings oneness with das whole universe.
I am a spark of das infinite that is functioning through my body+mind-complex.
How do I know that I am one with das universe ?
When my perception of time slows down as in absorption.
Ah yes. One of my (pardon plz) of my favorite self-realizations is this phrase, The “measure” of a man is profoundly realized to be just as the word itself indicates; “Me as U Re” - phonetically:
Me as you are. That is the only measure one might realize to become objective in his pursuit of absence of differentiation. 😊
Superb work brother
Can u talk about Ayn rand???
Who knows what the future brings... For the moment we're not done with Schopenhauer & Nietzsche
His philosophy resonates strongly with eastern religion. Brilliant.
One question about transcendental idealism: I am able to accept that the concepts of space, time, causality make human experience and understanding possible. However, how can you further justify that those concepts are merely features of the mind and not part of the things-in-themselves (or thing-in-itself for Schopenhauer)? In other words, is it possible that space, time, causality are features of BOTH the thing-in-themselves and human minds?
Space, time and causality might very well be features of the thing-in-itself. But we would never know -- the grand conclusion of transcendental idealism is that the noumenal world (the thing-in-itself) is *unknowable*. We know it exists, and that's it. Other than that, we cannot say anything about it with certainty. (At least, in the view of Kant. Several post- and neo-Kantians, and Schopenhauer of course, will disagree.)
@@WeltgeistYT Thank you very much for your reply. I think, in order to support Schopenhauer's system, it is important to stress that space, time, and causality are not part of the thing-in-itself, as without such statement we are unable to declare that the thing-in-itself is timeless, boundless and purposeless (since it would make no sense to talk about the 'location' of the thing-in-itself if space is only a mental condition). But it seems like such a supporting statement must be treated as an 'axiom' (rather than being proved, as deductive methods do not apply to the thing-in-itself).
I have a question, if there is no You, Me, That, There etc, then why there No Objects without Subject?
I wonder it the measurements made by our tools constitutes 'objective knowledge'? Or are they just markers in a construction?
pretty much like mathematics. If you think of the Pi (π) you cant visualize it as an object because pi is a symbol (representation) of something infinite which means it has no time and space.
Hmmmmmmm emotions can NOT be described with space but can be described with time (ex: before or after each other). In fact this is valid for all abtract thought. Then thought is partially representation & will. ?Could someone comment on this?
Oh another question; ?is Freud's id & Schopenhauer's will nearly the same concept?
Did he give credit to Spinoza?
But if will comes from feeling, is it not also based upon are sensory preceptors? How is that different from representation?
Hello Sir,
I like your videos so much!!
Can I recreate your videos and translate it in Bangla language??
It would be so kind of you to give permission to me so that I can use your video clips. I will dubb your videos.
Can I have your permission?
representation is artificially constructed formed by consciousness like space time and our own body.
representation cause sufferings and pain in multiplicity as individual subject
the will is eternal nothingness or unconscious. we cannot experience the will because it's spaceless and timeless.
if we aware the will is one or unity
Schopenhauer sounds like my sort of fella.
Read The Promethean Right !
What is it about?
well i can always use psychedelics and perceive things differently
I disagree that true objectively cannot be attained and even that were true I would say true objectivity in some cases is overrated. Subjectivity is fine as long as it's correct. I do believe some opinions are correct and some are not. one of the most toxic belief systems is that there is no right or wrong opinion or belief. Believing there is no right or wrong stance to have allows stupidity to proliferate and cause problems. Unfortunately due to "trolls" and herd mentality and stubbornly stupid people it is not a simple problem of educating the people who hold on to their wrong view points and as long as there exists this belief that ppl should be left alone to have their wrong opinion (that they spread like infections) there will be war between the right vs the wrong. Constantly. infinitum. One example of a wrong opinion is that pollution to Earth doesn't matter.
Do you not realize that your graphic animation of the earth turning is backward? It has the sun rising in the west. And while I adore Schopenhauer, we don't "know" anything on the basis of his philosophy.

Never before have I ever felt like I learned so much, and yet I learned nothing AT ALL... If I know anything, it's that I know nothing at all.
That's a humble attitude to have... It's a tiny theme in Part 2 btw.
Too many commercials ..bye
