The World As Will And Idea V2 — Arthur Schopenhauer

The Philosophy of Law is one of Kant s latest works and is so poor that although I entirely disagree with it I think a polemic against it is superfluous since of its own weakness it must die a natural death just as if it were not the work of this great man but the production of an ordinary mortal Therefore as regards the Philosophy of Law I give up the negative mode of procedure and refer to the positive that is to the short outline of it given in the fourth book Just one or two general remarks on pg 151 Kant s Philosophy of Law may be made here The errors which I have condemned in considering the Critique of Pure Reason as clinging to Kant throughout appear in the Philosophy of Law in such excess that one often believes he is reading a satirical parody of the Kantian style or at least that he is listening to a Kantian
