Schopenhauer's Christian perspectives
Schopenhauer's Christian perspectives
The chapter upholds Nietzsche’s view that Schopenhauer’s values represent a Christian “ascetic moral perspective” while “dismissing faith in God .” Schopenhauer is an atheist, but he espouses Christian values of selfless compassion and ascetic release from the world and claims that Christianity represents truths allegorically. The chapter evaluates the resulting position.
