Summary: The Will to Live by Taylor
Comment: Man's metaphysical needs are at the heart of the reason why we
have world religions and church/synagogue and mosque institutions. The metaphysical world is a transient experience
which explains the conditioning of man- according to Schopenhauer. Truth must have substance. Everything is physical. There is a continuous transition from simple to gradations of simple to the outer limits of being and rationality. Free will must be self-dependent, if it is to have meaning at all. " It cannot depend upon another in its being and nature any more than in its conduct and action." Underlying free will is our ability to engage in independent actions with consequences and accountability for the choices we make. People are most influenced by appealing to the ego. The sexual impulse is likened to the inner life of a tree. " But the fear of death
is a priori only the reverse side of the will to live."
Life and death are intertwined experiences which integrate into
the whole of existence i.e. beginning, living, death (end leading
into the spiritual dimension)

The will is what Emmanuel Kant calls "the thing in itself."
Senses are channels for sensation and perception. The sense
is a relation of the earth (terra), fluid is associated with
water, taste with vapours, air with elasticity and light with
sight. Sight is the highest rank because it is the widest with
the greatest periphery.

These philosophical works of Schopenhauer and others could occupy

multiple doctoral theses. The book is a solid value for a wide
constituency of academicians.
