“Schopenhauer’s will can be “equated” to the categorical imperative of the idea (reason), which is the will. Without the will, the idea is dead. If the idea is the essence of the Being, then the will is its manifestation as existence. Only through the categorical will of the essence (ultimate universal idea) is existence possible.” ReasonDejan StojanovicWillAbsoluteBeingIdeaNonbeingUniversal IdeaCategorical WillUniversal Mid Book:ABSOLUTE Source: ABSOLUTE
