However the extent to which Nietzsche abandons his earlier pessimism is not clear. Is his positive way forward merely a way of ameliorating the fundamentally impossible situation in which humans find themselves (according to Schopenhauer), or is it a way of liberating the self from those conditions? A central criticism by Nietzsche of Schopenhauer’smetaphysics, however, is that the self remains a riddle, an ‘it,’ to which Schopenhauer can only offer a guess-the will. The ‘I,’as a thing in itself, is indefensible, according to Nietzsche, and cannot be predicated with the attributes which Schopenhauer wishes to attach to the will, because3’ (quoted in Janaway, 1989: 343): A totally obscure, inconceivable x is draped with predicates, as with bright coloured clothes which are taken from a world alien to it, the world of appearance.
