Why, yes. I follow the footsteps of the divine Plato. How could you tell?

I'm here with yet another evidence of this man's basedness. Not only he was a great philosopher (and a Kantian at that), but he was also secretly a mystic:

>Thus mysticism denotes "every guidance to the immediate awareness of that which is not reached either by perception or conception, or generally by any knowledge ” (WWR II, 611). Whereas the philosopher bases his epistemology on a consideration of the objective phenomena available to all, the mystic begins with “ his inner, positive, individual experience, in which he finds himself as the eternal and only being ” (WWR I, 611)

>While the proper scope of philosophy is directed outward from the subject to the objective order “illuminism asserts itself as its antithesis. Directed essentially inwards , illuminism has as its organon inner illumination, intellectual intuition, higher consciousness, immediately knowing reason, divine consciousness, unification, and the like, and disparages rationalism as the ‘ light of nature "

>"Nevertheless, a concealed illuminism may often enough underlie rationalism; and to such an illuminism the philosopher then looks as to a hidden compass, whereas he admittedly steers his course only by the stars, that is, in accordance with external objects which clearly lie before him and which alone he takes into account. This is admissible because he does not undertake to communicate incommunicable knowledge, but his communica-tions remain purely objective and rational."

Basically, he is saying he is a mystic but he shouldn't be dismissed merely as one, because managed to integrate it in a rigorous Kantian framework.

I am once again asking: is there a man more based?

Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation. The whole of Nietzsche's philosophy could be summarized as an attempt to overcome Schop's negation of life.
