| | 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". |

| | 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. |

| | Schopenhauer's aesthetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This teaching goes far to explain Schopenhauer's appeal to members of the creative communities over the second half of the nineteenth century. | | | In effect, Schopenhauer turned art into a substitute religion by offering a doctrine of salvation through aesthetic experiences. | | | Contemporary beliefs that artistic creation should not be swayed by financial gains or the demands of patrons or customers, and the belief that the greatest artists are those who create new and entirely unprecedented forms of expression, rather than those who develop already existing forms, all owe a great deal to the influence of Schopenhauer. |

| | Schopenhauer |
| | Arthur Schopenhauer, the great Nineteenth Century philosopher, had a pessimistic vision of the world as "will and idea.” Our will to survive serves no high purpose; the world is at best a shared illusion. | | | Yalom points out several similarities between Schopenhauer and Nietzsche: both embraced the inevitability of death, neither had religious beliefs, both closely examined life. | | | He was greatly influenced by Indian religion and philosophy. |

| | John E. Atwell: Schopenhauer - Print |
| | Atwell's central argument is that Schopenhauer uses the will-body identity thesis as the key to his metaphysics ("reality is will") but he tends to abandon that thesis in his acknowledgment of three important aspects of human experience—repentance, compassion, and salvation. | | | What is said here of the (or my) body holds, with one significant exception, of the world: It is representation—the only way it is literally given—but it is also will—as we have a right to infer. | | | "Philosophizing from the first-person standpoint (as was his wont), Schopenhauer maintains that, strictly speaking, I am one thing: a body. |
