§ 23.
The will as thing-in-itself is quite different from its phenomenon [...]
Even the most universal form of all representation, that of object for subject, does not concern it, still less the forms that are subordinate to this and collectively have their common expression in the principle of sufficient reason.

Schopenhauer is a Christian Philosopher.
He knew Jesus Christ represented something truely divine in a moral sense.

In the first preface, Schopenhauer says that before reading The World as Will Vol1, you must familiarize yourself with Kant's major works, read On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, On Visions and Colours, and Criticism of Kantian Philosophy in the appendix.

Does anybody actually do this? If not, how was the read? Does it really make as big of a difference as Schopenhauer suggests?
