Frommann-holzboog Schopenhauer liest Schelling

Schopenhauer’s handwritten annotated personal copy of Schellings’s ›Philosophical Inquiries into the Essence of Human Freedom‹ is now completely accessible to researchers for the first time. It shows Schopenhauer as a critical reader who received the definitive suggestions for what as a whole was probably the most powerful metaphysics of the will in the 19th century from a year-long study of Schelling’s philosophy of nature and freedom. Apart from a detailed introduction and commentary, this volume contains a bibliography on Schopenhauer’s reception of Schelling’s philosophy.
