Have there been any good studies exploring the Schopenhauer and Nietzsche themes in this book?

You would have to elaborate further on this, what themes are you after?

Nietzsche is good for reading literature with as ideas and understanding within The Birth of Tragedy can be taken to just about any work. I think what you would want is to actually read Nietzsche Birth of Tragedy (there's some good online lectures on it).

I have only read Schopenhauer's essays on aesthetics ( i think they're in one of his books) and I don't see how you would take a reading of Schopenhauer to Blood Meridian.

Idk, it's mostly been gnostic interpretations and a bunch of allusions to Paradise Lost.

McCarthy is a higlhy intelligent scientist who lives in a science institute and has a knowledge of mathematics and physics that rivals real scientists.
