Schopenhauer, by Father F. Copleston sj

Vous trouverez ici un entretien télévisuel, en cinq parties, entre Frederick Copleston et Bryan Magee, à propos de Schopenhauer.

I invite you to watch an discussion about Schopenhauer, between Frederick Copleston and Bryan Magee.

This program examines the systematic, philosophical pessimism of Arthur Schopenhauer and its emphasis on an infraconsciousness, or will, as the irrational motivating force in human nature. World-renowned author and professor Bryan Magee and distinguished philosophical historian Frederick Copleston discuss Schopenhauer’s theory of underlying reality as experienced through the inner self. On a larger scale, the concept of will is ultimately defined as energy, which is judged to be central to scientific explanations of what drives the universe.
