SCHOPENHAUER

1987. Bryan Magee talks with Frederick Copleston about the ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer. The first half of their discussion concerns Schopenhauer's essential relation to the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, especially to the transcendental aesthetic, or subjective forms of time and space, which Schopenhauer judged to be Kant's greatest contribution to the history of philosophy.

The second part of the dialogue focuses on questioning the soundness of Schopenhauer's effort to deduce, from the apparently atemporal and aspatial intuition of bodily selfhood, the possibility of a universal will as the ground of existence.
