19th cent. Philosophy
I have a 1500 word essay due, on the following topic, in my class:
Hegel declared that “Reason is the law of the world” (p. 62), while Schopenhauer maintained that “the intellect is a mere accident of our being” (p. 100). Explain what was meant by each of these philosophers, and whether and to what extent their views are in conflict. Show what arguments (if any) the two used to arrive at these two apparently opposite conclusions.
I'm having a whole lot of trouble getting started because I see a lot of similarities in Hegel's Reason and Shcopenhauer's Will. Even though I believe they would each argue the other is nuts...
I think i'm going to try something new and blog on it for a while to see if it leads me any where. If anyone has any thoughts (other than the fact that i'm off my gord) please email me... its up at the top but here it is again just for show: JimN4@yahoo.com
