Abstract
Schopenhauer studied and adapted his own system any concepts of eastern thought. He was particularly drawn toward Vedanta and Buddhism. However, only a few brief and casual analyses are to be found in the secondary literature on this thinker. Many of Schopenhauer’s own concepts remain misunderstood and unduly critiqued due to lack of comparative study of these concepts with their eastern counterparts. This paper will examine Schopenhauer’s eastern sources as well as outline this thinker’s standpoint on how the insights from world religions can be thoughtfully deployed in philosophy after detaching them from the elements of dogma and superstition.
