Abstract
This thesis revolves around the idea that the world 'how is it is in itself' is ultimately inexpressible, which can be closely linked to the philosophies of Schopenhauer and Wittgenstein. It traces the lines through which Schopenhauers philosohpy of the will has influenced the early Wittgenstein.
