26. Natural Theory / A. Speculations on Nature / 1. Nature

4179	The essence of nature is the will to life itself [Schopenhauer]
	Full Idea: The essence of nature is the will to life itself.
	From: Arthur Schopenhauer (The World as Will and Idea [1819], IV.60)
	A reaction: How would he have responded to Darwin? The will to life is the product, there, of a different and more remote force, such as the 'energy' of the physicist (whatever that is!).
