Schopenhauer was a Buddhist or Hindu in
trying to rid philosophy and himself of the material world so as to
experience the timeless world of what he called the Will, which was
similar to Plato's timeless non-material ideas.
Nietzsche defined his will-to-power as
goalless, Dionysian, and amoral, and he affirmed Fate something like
the Greeks did. Nietzsche was close to seeing the will as material or
supermaterial but he didn't go there. The post-moderns followed
Nietzsche and made a God of relativism.
Theological Materialism sees the
Will-Spirit as the material activation within material life
toward supermaterial Godhood by way of material evolution, and fully affirms the
religious nature of materialism when it affirms the goal of evolving to Godhood.. Theological materialism brings
religion and science together, and I believe could be the future
direction of both.
