In Göttingen, he advised his studentArthur Schopenhauer to concentrate on the philosophies ofPlato and Kant. This advice had a strong influence on Schopenhauer'sphilosophy. In the wintersemester of 1810 and 1811, Schopenhauer studied bothpsychology andmetaphysics under Schulze.[2]
"As determined by theCritique of Pure Reason, the function of the principle ofcausality thus undercuts all philosophizing about the where or how of the origin of our cognitions. All assertions on the matter, and every conclusion drawn from them, become empty subtleties, for once we accept that determination of the principle as our rule of thought, we could never ask, "Does anything actually exist which is the ground and cause of our representations?". We can only ask, "How must the understanding join these representations together, in keeping with the pre-determined functions of its activity, in order to gather them as one experience?"[3]
