SCHOULER 283 SCHUMANN-HEINK titled "The World as Will and Idea." It appeared in 1819, and after being neg- lected for many years attracted a good deal of attention and received some sharp criticism. The practical upshot of his system, which makes will the one sole reality, is intolerable melancholy, taking from man all that constitutes his great- ness, his goodness, or his bliss. God — futurity — the soul — mere names, illu- sions; and the world of men is to him hopelessly bad. The style is brilliant; but the general effect of the work on the average mind is depressing. He pub- lished several other works of philosophy, of which the most important is "The Two Sound Problems of Ethics." He died in Frankfort-on-the-Main, Sept. 21, 1860.
