Like many great philosophers of the past, Schopenhauer aspired to present a comprehensive vision of reality, a vision that he in fact regarded as final. However, he was at the same time deeply conscious of Kant’s critical approach and accepted his criticism of all traditional systems of metaphysics. Although systematic, Schopenhauer’s philosophical enterprise can thus be described as both modern and critical. Through his concept of will, he made an impact on later thinkers, particularly on Nietzsche and Heidegger
The Presocratics in the Thought of Martin Heidegger

The book focuses on Heidegger’s thoughtful repetition of early Greek thinking, and his receptive attention to the fragments of the Presocratics from our contemporary age. Their thought has a special value for him as the heritage which must be repeated anew in order to bring us back to the question of being and to open before us new avenues for existence. The author raises questions which help us to understand Heidegger as a thinker. He presents a deep analysis of Heidegger’s interpretations of the Presocratics and contributes to a new, insightful understanding of Heideggerian philosophy.

Tractatus Politico-Philosophicus: New Directions for the Future Development of Humankind
Tractatus Politico-Philosophicus (Political-Philosophical Treatise) aims to establish the principles of good governance and of a happy society, and to open up new directions for the future development of humankind. W. Julian Korab-Karpowicz demonstrates the necessity of, and provides a guide for, the redirection of humanity. He argues that this paradigm shift must involve changing the character of social life and politics from competitive to cooperative, encouraging moral and intellectual virtues, providing foundations for happy societies, promoting peace among countries and building a strong international community.
