“For Schopenhauer, the world is an idea. Although in a way distinct from the will, this idea implies will and therefore equates it. If the world itself is an idea and if nothing exists beyond this world and this idea, then there is no place in Schopenhauer’s philosophy either for noumenon or metaphysics. If everything is the world and the world itself is an idea and the will, then the whole world is a phenomenon: subject and object, cause and effect, purpose and meaning. Although there is a distinction between the idea and matter, this distinction is only on the surface, since even if the world is an idea or an appearance of a hidden idea, this ultimate idea is not beyond the world but is the world itself, which annihilates the substantial distinction between mind and body (matter and idea).”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“If the will materializes as an idea, this distinction becomes less distinct. Almost the same scenarios, as in metaphysics, can be applied here within the realm of the physical world. What serves the role of the noumenon in Plato’s sense (even Kantian) is replaced here not by a metaphysical (transcendental) idea but by an always-present “idea,” carried by will and manifested through the world (matter).”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“If we equate Schopenhauer’s idea to noumenon, this idea can become the mind’s essence in our sense. On the other hand, if we equate Schopenhauer’s will to the world, then we can equate it to the secondary quality of the primary essence (Locke’s primary quality). This almost invisible dualism in Schopenhauer’s thought can be easier to understand if we treat his idea as essence and his will (manifestation through the world) as existence. We can further conclude that without the essence, there is no existence but also that without the existence, the essence “disappears” (is on hold as potential).”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“The will must be the fuel of the essence. Without the will, there is no existence; although it contains omnipotence, an idea still dies. In this sense, the will for existence and life is equally important as an idea because, without the will, the essence dies. The only way for an idea to survive and live is through existence. (Without the will, there is no existence; without existence, there is no world; without the world, there is no idea; without an idea, there is no will, which implies that idea and will are essentially the same.)”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“We can “equate” Schopenhauer’s will to Empedocles’ love, except that Schopenhauer’s will is more ominous. Ontologically or epistemologically, as ultimate principles, they do not differ in substance, only in form.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“It is possible to convert Kant’s reason to an idea on a universal level to clarify the will’s effect on reason and its importance and meaning.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Schopenhauer’s will can be “equated” to the categorical imperative of the idea (reason), which is the will. Without the will, the idea is dead. If the idea is the essence of the Being, then the will is its manifestation as existence. Only through the categorical will of the essence (ultimate universal idea) is existence possible.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Kant thought that freedom of the will is only an idea and that, although it can function as a possible categorical imperative, it is still only a hypothesis. For Kant, it is impossible to explain how pure reason can be practical in itself, and, according to him, this is “beyond the power of human reason.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE
