Kev:
I said "coalescence" of thought re: Neitzsche's discovery of Schopenhauer.
N. found a dusty copy of S. and practically turned cartwheels over the
revelatory tome. He was attracted to the clarity of a "God-less" philosophy
and ran with that theme...he turned on Schopenhauer after reading the elder's
later works that exhibited a moderation of his prior views...I guess the
closer we get to death the more relevant God becomes.
Pascal and Keirkegaard are frequently mentioned in more than one history of
philosophy book (Hans Kung's "Is There A God" being one of them) that
parallel their concepts with existentialism.
