Publisher's Synopsis
This study aims to systematically determine whether the question of the "sacred" has any relevance in Schopenhauer's analysis of the human condition. In light of his metaphysical and anthropological claims, it proposes that the question of the "sacred" remains open given certain "unanswerables" to which Schopenhauer himself alludes in his treatment of the denial of the will-to-live, as specifically manifested in aesthetical and ethical praxis.
