5th of Rabi'ul-Awwal 1377 AH/ September 21st, 1957 AD: Arthur Schopenhauer died. He was a German philosopher. He studied in several fields before earning his doctorate in philosophy. He regarded the Upanishads, together with the works of Plato and Immanuel Kant, as the foundation of his philosophical system, a metaphysical doctrine of the will developed in reaction to the idealism of G.W.F. Hegel. His magnum opus, The World as Will and Representation (1819 AD), consists of two comprehensive series of reflections on the theory of knowledge and the philosophy of nature, aesthetics, and ethics.
