Arthur Schopenhauer was the first major Western philosopher of modern times, who had dealt inteniv with religions and philosophies of India. He particularly appreciated the ancient Indian Upanishads and - if she has time available in translations were - the writings of Buddhism. With joy he could find, how this ancient Indian wisdom teachings of his philosophy are identical. More, the Upanishads felt Schopenhauer as the most important and most sublime reading that is possible in the world: it is the consolation of my life and my death will be his.
also to Buddhism Arthur Schopenhauer was a very close relationship, so he called himself and his followers Buddhists .
So it was especially Schopenhauer's credit that by the end of the 19th Century, Buddhism in the German educated middle class and was known far beyond.
Still can Schopenhauer's philosophy contribute significantly to a better understanding of the wisdom teachings that had evolved for thousands of years in India. Despite fundamentally different intellectual traditions has been created by Arthur Schopenhauer, a cultural bridge between East and West. In this sense, the working group "Schopenhauer and Buddhism" and "Arthur - Schopenhauer - Study Group" set up this blog. We hope you will consider participating, to which we invite all interested people to join.
