شوبنهور: نقد المفهوم الكانطي للشيء في ذاته

Abstract EN

In his attempt to liberate metaphysics from dogmatism and raise it to the level of science, Kant distinguished the thing in itself and the phenomenon, in order to underline the insufficiency of the spirit and its incapacity to perceive things in itself, and that he is only aware of what is apparent.

however, Schopenhauer sees the exact opposite, which is that the thing in itself is characterized by the totality and completeness that exists in man as it exists in other beings.

but it is not absolute, because it is close to us and exists in us, we realize it intuitively through emotional experience, this thing in itself is the will seen in two different ways.
