| | Arthur Schopenhauer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Schopenhauer believed the function of art to be a meditation on the unity of human nature, and an attempt to either demonstrate or directly communicate to the audience a certain existential angst for which most forms of entertainment — including bad art — only provided a distraction. | | | Schopenhauer's starting point was Kant's division of the universe into phenomenon and noumenon, claiming that the noumenon was the same as that in us which we call Will. | | | Schopenhauer did see all these things as means to a more peaceful and enlightened way of life, but none of them were "denial of the will-to-live". |

| | Arthur Schopenhauer and mysticism |
| | It is the nirvana of the Buddhists as Schopenhauer explains the word: a mere nothing. | | | This question is the more compelling because Schopenhauer meant not only ascetic Christianity and ascetic Brahamanism, but he had also the mysticism of these world religions in view. | | | So as a conclusion we can state that Schopenhauer saw mysticism as a mean to free oneself of the misery of life, though the happiness which was achieved was only a negative one, a mere absence of pain, never a positive state of eternal bliss. |

| | Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Idea |
| | Schopenhauer explains that the will cannot properly be defined as a necessary cause of its manifestations in the phenomenal world, because it is not governed by the principle of sufficient reason. | | | According to Schopenhauer, the world is the will insofar as all ideas of the world manifest the will. | | | According to Schopenhauer, all objects of perception must comply with the fourfold principle of sufficient reason, which has a physical form, a mathematical form, a logical form, and a moral form. |

| | The Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer |
| | Schopenhauer, by a complete misunderstanding of spiritual life, believed the penitents and saints of the Church to be absolutely indifferent and detached from all that surrounds them, mentally dead to all things, while materially they continue to live. | | | Arthur Schopenhauer (picture) was born in Danzig in 1788, the son of a wealthy merchant. | | | The Sacred Writer, in Schopenhauer's interpretation, says that increasing knowledge is only to increase distress. |

| | Arthur Schopenhauer took a particular interest in the aspect of these writings that approaches Buddhism practically. | | | The letter of Schopenhauer was considered as he suggested and his letter was quoted in the preface of the concerned book. | | | Arthur replied with a balanced criticism on this point which came to be developed in a number of letters that were exchanged between them afterwards. |

| | Arthur Schopenhauer |
| | Schopenhauer's considered position is that the thing-in-itself is multidimensional, and although the thing-in-itself is not wholly identical to the world as will, it nonetheless includes as its manifestations, the world as will and the world as representation. | | | Indeed, Schopenhauer states explicitly that his views on morality are entirely in the spirit of Christianity, not to mention that of the doctrines and ethical precepts of the sacred books of India (WWR, Section 68). | | | From a scholarly standpoint, this implies that interpretations of Schopenhauer that portray him as a Kantian who believes that knowledge of the thing-in-itself is impossible, along with interpretations of Schopenhauer that portray him as a traditional metaphysician who claims that the thing-in-itself is straightforwardly, wholly and unconditionally will, inaccurately represent Schopenhauer's outlook. |

| | Therefore, according to Schopenhauer, the presupposition for morality is to clearly recognize 1) that the world is fundamentally evil, 2) that all the individuals are not real and ultimately a mere phenomenon or illusion (due to the influence from Buddhism). | | | Further, according to Schopenhauer, to understand the uniersal ontology (the ontology of nature as the phenomenal world), we are able to simply follow the Kantian theory of knowledge. | | | On the one hand, according to Arthur Schopenhauer, it is quite costly to be married. |

| | Arthur Schopenhauer: Architect of the Culture of Death- Interim, August 2001 |
| | Perhaps Schopenhauer's most pernicious influence is found among those who have misinterpreted his separation of the instinctive force of life from any rational structure as a welcomed blow for "freedom". | | | It is futile for an individual to fight against this force, since it has no regard for him and is bent on his ultimate destruction. | | | René Descartes separated mind from matter and tried to re-connect them. |

| | little blue light - Arthur Schopenhauer - Criticism |
| | Eight leading scholars contribute specially written essays in which Nietzsche's changing conceptions of pessimism, tragedy, art, morality, truth, knowledge, religion, atheism, determinism, the will, and the self are revealed as responses to the work of the thinker he called his "great teacher." | | | Schopenhauer as Transmitter of Buddhist Ideas by Dorothea W. Dauer | | | The author holds that this system is centered on a single thought, "The world is self-knowledge of the will." He then traces this unifying concept through the four books of The World as Will and Representation, and, in the process, dissolves the work's alleged inconsistencies." |

| | I disagree with him on practically everything important (as did Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy notwithstanding), except his scathing misanthropy and his views on opera (page 163- he loathed it by the way, as a philistine piling up of styles, an 'unmusical invention for unmusical minds...'), but so what? | | | Whether or not you agree with Schopenhauer's central philosophic themes, his high-jacking/hybridization of Kantian metaphysics and Eastern Vedic/Buddhist Scripture, his pessimistic misanthropy, his irrational and intuitive bent, his (huge) influence on psychology and psychoanalysis, his dismissal of Judeo-Christian religion, or his overbearing arrogance- he is not a thinker to be dismissed lightly. | | | Son Arthur had been very devoted to his father Heinrich Floris. |

| | The composer reveals the inmost essence of the world and utters the most profound wisdom in a language which his reason does not understand, just as a magnetic somnambulist give disclosures about things which she has no idea of when awake. | | | He speaks to me as no other philosopher does, direct and in his own human voice, a fellow spirit, a pentratingly perceptive friend, with a hand on my elbow and a twinkle in his eye. | | | I was very fond of them, if only they would have had me. |
