The world seems to be a bunch of subatomic particles bumping into each other, not 'will', wonder what Schopenhauer means?

- keiferski 7y agoI don't think Schopenhauer's concept of the will and subatomic particles are mutually exclusive. He's pretty clear on what "will" means, but you have to study his philosophy to find out.
- yters 7y agoAh, you are right: "a mindless, aimless, non-rational impulse at the foundation of our instinctual drives, and at the foundational being of everything." Very much like subatomic particles randomly bumping into each other. But, also very much unlike music, at least the enjoyable kind of music. Does sound similar to the music of Lovecraftian novels, though.
