>>16379841I am not sure. I liked the thing in Asimov's The Last Question where it is about the universe trying to act against its own heat death, and although i was skeptical of it before, the recent deboonking of the big bang puts the heat death of the universe into question - it may never happen
I like the tales of dead men's deeds. I guess maybe it is a bit archaic in that the transcendent soul's fate is based on the memories of the living, but i guess it goes with that sentimental "survived by" thing in obituaries
as for the soul i think in schaupenhauer's world as representation and will, the "will", although i have also heard it referred to as "the drive" or "the spirit" is probably a good approximation for the soul as a construct of pure ideal that would have no representation in a material world
