Description
Excerpt from The Wisdom of Life, Vol. 1: Being the First Part of Arthur Schopenhauer''s Aphorismen Zur Lebensweisheit
It is instructive to note, as M. Ribot points out, that in finding the origin of all things, not in intelli gence, as some of his predecessors in philosophy had done, but in will, or the force of nature, from which all phenomena have developed, Schopenhauer was anticipating something of the scientific spirit of the nineteenth century. To this it may be added that in combating the method of F ichte and Hegel, who spun a system out of abstract ideas, and in discarding it for one based on observation and experience, Schopenhauer can be said to have brought down philosophy from heaven to earth.
