The Thoughts Of Schopenhauer Vs Systemic Functional Linguistics [1]

Russell (1961: 723-4):
Schopenhauer's system is an adaptation of Kant's, but one that emphasises quite different aspects of the Critique from those emphasised by Fichte or Hegel.  They got rid of the thing–in–itself, and thus made knowledge metaphysically fundamental.  Schopenhauer retained the thing–in–itself, but identified it with the will.  He held that what appears to perception as my body is really my will.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, Schopenhauer identified the experience that is construed semiotically as 'my body' with desiderative consciousness: a senser desiring.

That is, Schopenhauer locates the semiotic construal of experience as desiderative consciousness outside the domain of semiotic construal (meaning).
