The Importance of Natural Force

Philosophers don't like the idea that everything is idea precisely because it makes it difficult to explain what West just said. The fact that Schopenhauer's building from and on top of Kant's framework, and he's very exercised to point out all the ways in which he thinks Kant was wrong is really all you need to know about the motivation behind what he's doing here. He says we do not obtain the slightest information about the inner nature of any one of these phenomenon. This is called a natural force and lies outside the province of an ideological explanation. It does nothing more than show the orderly arrangement according to which the states or conditions appear in space and time.
