Reviews

Vanden Auweele's study is a clear, original, and well-argued reconstruction of the philosophical underpinnings, and somewhat surprisingly, Kantian roots of Schopenhauer's pessimistic world view. -Sandra Shapshay, Indiana University-Bloomington, USA


Vanden Auweele's exposition is knowledgeable and displays a solid comprehension of Schopenhauer's philosophy ... This book is valuable in helping us appreciate that there is a strong Christian dimension to Schopenhauer's philosophy ... Unlike other presentations of Schopenhauer's philosophy that identify aesthetic, moral, and ascetic awareness as the ascending road to enlightenment, it importantly adds religious awareness into the sequence. - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Vanden Auweele's study is a clear, original, and well-argued reconstruction of the philosophical underpinnings, and somewhat surprisingly, Kantian roots of Schopenhauer's pessimistic world view. - Sandra Shapshay, Indiana University-Bloomington, USA
