Freilich Dunkel, Schopenhauer and Wittgenstein on the inexpressibility of seeing the world aright

Abstract

This thesis revolves around the idea that the world 'how is it is in itself' is ultimately inexpressible, which can be closely linked to the philosophies of Schopenhauer and Wittgenstein. It traces the lines through which Schopenhauers philosohpy of the will has influenced the early Wittgenstein.
