PROBLEM: One section of this work describes Kant as "the great Chinaman of Knigsberg," while another section in this work attacks Schopenhauer for assuming that the nature of the will is self-evident. The third section of this work, entitled the Essence of Religion, contains a discussion of sacrifice which envisions it as a ladder of increasing cruelty. One section in this work contrasts the way that actions were judged in pre-history, and argues that modern times harmfully judge based on intent, rather on action.
