What if God is dead... literally? What if he annihilated himself through the act of creation?
Discover the writings of one of the most daring and controversial philosophers of the nineteenth century - Philipp Mainländer - who transformed Schopenhauer's pessimism into a bold metaphysical vision unlike anything in Western philosophy.
How God Destroyed Himself brings together his most important writings in a single accessible volume, exploring:
The death of God.
The metaphysics of the Will-to-Death.
Pessimism, suffering, and redemption.
Freedom, ethics, and humanity's ultimate destiny.
Provocative, profound, and centuries ahead of its time, this is an essential introduction to one of philosophy's most original and overlooked minds.
