@jeffcliff @gorskon What I don't like with Schopenhauer or with Kant, is that they postulate some kind of thing or energy that is beyond the material. For me, this has always been a non-starter. However... I always wondered how much of Schopenhauer is realy re-hashed eastern mysticism. I think he claimed to have come up with the exact same position independently, but I am very skeptical.
