b4c034 No.1842

Are there any works of philosophy that changed your life or your way of looking at the world, or at least had a significant impact on the two? If so, what were they?

ab3ca4 No.1843

The concepts of will and representation as exposed by Schopenhauer in his main book.

>>1842

Books:

The Scientific Worldview, G. Borchardt

Capital Vol. 1, K. Marx

The Phenomenology of Spirit, G.W.F. Hegel

General ideas:

Kant's phenomena vs noumena problem

German Idealism's discussion of the problem of the subject/object distinction,the problem of knowledge, and the problem of the "world".

Heraclitus' idea of reality being flux and unity of opposites + Whitehead's process philosophy

Eastern absolute monism: Advaita Vedanta

Kierkegaard's concept of despair and the genuine individual

The concept of absolute presuppositions and their role in metaphysics from R.G.Collingwood

Not all of these are relevant to me anymore, but they certainly caused a big change in my way of thinking over time.
