I’m reading The World as Will and Representation by A. Schopenhauer. Since I’m a trucel I have plenty of time thinking over it while rotting at home. P. Mainländer, who was influenced by Schopenhauer, whose book recently just translated into English and once again I’m too low IQ to fully understand it (my English level can’t assure me of comprehension of his works) Can anyone here explain the ideas of him?

Excuse me saar, I don't hold on my knowledge such advanced understanding.
 
My personal (uninformed) summary of his philosophy is as follows:

- mainlander basically thought god killed himself and infinitely fragmented himself into smaller and smaller parts. (Big bang?) He uses bible quotes in his text i think.

Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water.” (John 4:13-15)

Redemption is to also join the void via death. Since perhaps we’re made in the image of god, we should also prepare to die or kill ourselves?

- mainlander himself roped. He propped himself up using a stack of his own books

- platonic model is being, becoming and non being. Mental world, physical world and platonic world. I think mainlander saw death as like reuniting with the perfect platonic world?

We are continually accelerating to perfection whether we like it or not (death)
