  • Overcoming the Will to Live: An Introduction to Schopenhauer 3

    Counter Currents - Aug 22nd 2025 8:44am EDT

    3,832 words The Lonely Tree – Caspar David Friedrich, 1822 Part 1, Part 2 The Platonic Ideas So far we have discussed extensively how Schopenhauer frames his argument in The World as Will and Representation in terms of Kantian philosophy, and how he misunderstands Kant. The other major influence he acknowledged was Plato, and it […]

  • The Most Important Thing in the World

    Counter Currents - Aug 19th 2025 12:29pm EDT

    Seated Socrates, fresco from ancient Ephesus 1,732 words Sometimes the most momentous truths can be established with the simplest arguments. A good example is Plato’s argument in his little-known dialogue Euthydemus  for why philosophy, the pursuit of wisdom, is more important than any other pursuit. I found this argument completely convincing. It shattered and remade […]

Allow me to explain my knowledge of myself: I am a machine with a first layer of programming that goes “seek warmth, seek food, seek sex” and a secondary layer of […]

  • Overcoming the Will to Live: An Introduction to Schopenhauer Part 1

    Counter Currents - Aug 8th 2025 4:51am EDT

    3,606 words Schopenhauer as Lebensphilosoph This introduction to the thought of Arthur Schopenhauer is not, strictly speaking, a part of the series on “Heidegger’s history of metaphysics” that I have been writing now for almost five years. The reason is that Heidegger had little use for Schopenhauer, and not a lot to say about him. […]

  • Well, What Do You Know? Plato’s Theaetetus

    Counter Currents - Jul 29th 2025 7:00am EDT

    3,213 words “What do I know?” asked French thinker Michel de Montaigne in the 16th century. Two hundred years later, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant refined the question, asking rather, “What can I know?”. In philosophy, however, there is rarely anything new under the sun, and this was not a new query. Both Montaigne’s and […]

    Counter Currents - Jul 18th 2025 6:51am EDT

    5,218 words All parts here. Introducing the Clearing As we discussed last time, Heidegger’s major objection to Hegel is to identify his philosophy as “ontotheology.” In other words, Hegel confuses the “ontological difference,” the difference between being-as-such and beings, the things that have being. In the end, Hegel declares that the Absolute is being. But, […]
