Arthur Schopenhauer and the insufficiency of modesty:  New video essay on the times and opinions of Arthur Schopenhauer. After 17 years of silence  Schopenhauer decided to participate in a competition to answer the question Can man’s free will be proven from his self-consciousness? He held that our character provides a sufficient explanation of our acts. This video essay gives context to a letter written by Schopenhauer to the Royal Norwegian Academy of Science in 1839.
