Idea and Concept in Schopenhauer. From the Early Manuscripts to The World as Will and Representation.

the contribution delves into the early manuscripts to understand Schopenhauer's evolution from the philosophy of better consciousness to his new understanding of consciousness and reflection in The World as Will and Representation. the focus is specifically on the relationship between idea and concept in the early manuscripts as well as the important notion of "better consciousness", which is a key to a new way of approaching Schopenhauer's system as a philosophy of levels of consciousness , rather than as a metaphysics of the will.
