Episode notes
One Thing, Not Many
- Schopenhauer questions Kant's "things-in-themselves" concept, arguing it presupposes plurality.
- He suggests the other side of perception could be a singular entity mistakenly perceived as separate things.
Look Inward
- Schopenhauer suggests looking inward, not outward, to understand the "things-in-themselves".
- He proposes our inner, restless striving offers a "subterranean passage" to this true nature.
Restless Striving
- Schopenhauer posits a "restless striving" as our core being, a subconscious drive for things.
- This isn't a soul or spirit, but a fundamental force observable from infancy.
