Abstract

Schopenhauer was interested in the philosophical tradition of Indians. He admitted himself that the thoughts of Vedas (among philosophy of Kant) was the important issue of his own philosophical views. It actually expressed in very many aspects of his philosophical doctrine, among all in his understanding of holiness that considered to be Schopenhauer as an essential aspect of every religion. Analyzing the main features of this holiness phenomenon, Schopenhauer concludes to the genuine kinship of Christianity and Hinduism and criticized the contemporary state of Christianity, but if we consider the views of Schopenhauer in more detail, we can find the origins of his views dated back to the Age of German Enlightenment.
