At this point in his argumentation, Schopenhauer has established only that among his many ideas, or representations, only one of them viz. The conditions for scientific knowledge thus have a negative moral impact, because they lead us to regard each other Schopenhauers Early Fourfold Root 1st edition individuals separate and alien to one another. It is to imagine equally, and in full force, what it is like to be both a cruel tormentor and a tormented victim, and to locate both opposing experiences and characters within a single, universal consciousness that is the consciousness of humanity itself. Before we can enter the transcendent consciousness of heavenly tranquillity, we must pass through the fires of hell and experience a dark night of the soul, as our universal self combats our individuated and physical self, as pure knowledge struggles against animalistic will, and as freedom struggles against nature. Schelling — and G. First, the influence is reflected directly in Schoenberg's own essays, and philosophical writings about music and other matters.

In these respects, the Platonic Ideas are independent of the specific fourfold root of the principle of sufficient reason, even though it would be misleading to say that there is no individuation whatsoever at this universal level, for there are many different Platonic Ideas that are individuated from one another.
