Schopenhauer's extension of Kantian metaphysics into a system of great beauty and rigor was influential beyond belief. His thought predated Darwin, Freud and Einstein, and his work is among the closest stabs at Truth ever penned by a human being. Those who consider his worldview limiting or are thrown off by his pessimism are missing the point. (
