And yet, Truth to tell,

I have not a clue as to the actual meaning (in fact I doubt there is any) of die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung.  And the more I read about it the less I understand it.  How can one who writes so intelligibly about women make such an utter fucked-up hash of mental and material reality?

'Tis said that our Great Misogynist actually instanced Gravity and Electricity as examples of die Wille operating in die Welt.  With his face hanging out, and not a blush on it.
