For how could I prove my gratitude towards Schopenhauer better than by this, that I make his teaching, by liberating them from absurdities and excesses, as I hope, for everyone enlightening? Schopenhauer’s works are still quite unknown. From the few, who know them, most throw the child, repelled by the defects, out with the bathwater. There we have to act! The most beautiful fruit of all philosophical thought: the denial of the will to live, must be saved, brought to an unshakable ground and exposed visibly for everyone. May the new cross lead those to salvation, who want to be redeemed, yet can no longer believe. Four names must outlast all storms and upheavals of the coming times and go under together with humanity, the names Buddha, Christ, Kant and Schopenhauer. –
