This book rejects Spinozist pantheism in its chapter on "Epiphilosophy" at the very end of its last volume.

This book rejects Spinozist pantheism in its chapter on "Epiphilosophy" at the very end of its last volume. This work posits that people have a unique "twofold knowledge" of their own bodies, which they see both as "object among objects" and as an "inside self." Nietzsche drew on this book's idea that people become self-aware via a "principle of individuation" which also explains space and time. This book says that we can only transcend blind striving through art or ascetic self-denial. Inspired by the recently-translated Hindu Upanishads, it revised Kant's view of the noumenon by claiming that that only one Ding an sich, or thing-in-itself, pervades the universe. For 10 points, name this book about two aspects of the cosmos, the pessimistic magnum opus of Arthur Schopenhauer.
