(John) Kemp, John, M.A. The World as Will and Idea (Vol. 2 of 3) Translation of "Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung." "The World as Will and Idea (Vol. 2 of 3)" by Arthur Schopenhauer is a philosophical treatise written in the early 19th century. This volume continues Schopenhauer's exploration of metaphysics, primarily focusing on a critique of Immanuel Kant's philosophy and further detailing his own theories regarding perception and knowledge. The text delves into complex topics related to the nature of reality, consciousness, and the fundamental interplay between human will and experience. At the start of this volume, Schopenhauer outlines his intention to critique Kantian philosophy, recognizing Kant's significant contributions while also challenging various aspects he deems erroneous. He emphasizes the distinction between phenomena (things as we perceive them) and noumena (things in themselves), acknowledging Kant's framing of this debate but seeking to clarify and refine it further. Schopenhauer argues that true knowledge transcends mere abstraction and calls for a deeper understanding of the relationship between the perceiver and the perceived, setting the stage for his own philosophical assertions.
