Description
This video is part 2 in our series on Schopenhauer’s philosophy of religion. Part one was about his broader philosophy of religion, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9EVlUJyrQg. In this part, we will zoom in on Schopenhauer’s criticism and evaluation of Christianity and the theological problem of reconciling the Old with the New Testament.
The main religious text in Christianity, the Bible, is composed of the Old and the New Testament. The problem is that Schopenhauer sees an optimistic worldview in the Old and a pessimistic worldview in the New Testament.
