The Philosophy of Redemption

In this work, Philipp Mainländer presents a profound philosophical vision that intertwines Buddhism, Christianity, and atheism with scientific principles. He proposes a cosmology where the universe emerges from a primordial event, interpreted as God's self-destruction. This perspective depicts the universe as a fragmented remnant of divinity, characterized by individual beings driven by a will to death, all yearning for annihilation. Mainländer's complex and somber insights are now available in English for the first time.
