He is most famous for his work The World as Will<BR/>and Representation. He is commonly known for having espoused a sort of<BR/>philosophical pessimism that saw life as being essentially evil,<BR/>futile, and full of suffering.<BR/><BR/>However, upon closer inspection, in accordance with Eastern thought,<BR/>especially Buddhist, he saw salvation, deliverance, or escape from<BR/>suffering in aesthetic contemplation, sympathy for others, and ascetic<BR/>living...<BR/><BR/>...Schopenhauer's starting point was Kant's division of the universe<BR/>into phenomenon and noumenon, claiming that the noumenon was the same<BR/>as that in us which we call Will. It is the inner content and the<BR/>driving force of the world. For Schopenhauer, human will had<BR/>ontological primacy over the intellect; in other words, desire is<BR/>understood to be prior to thought, and, in a parallel sense, "will" is<BR/>said to be prior to "being".<BR/><BR/>In solving/alleviating the fundamental problems of life, Schopenhauer<BR/>was rare among philosophers in considering philosophy and logic less<BR/>important (or "less effective") than art, certain types of charitable<BR/>practice ("loving kindness", in his terms), and certain forms of<BR/>religious discipline; Schopenhauer concluded that discursive thought<BR/>(such as philosophy and logic) could neither touch nor transcend the<BR/>nature of desire -- i.e., the will.<BR/><BR/>In The World as Will and Idea, Schopenhauer posited that humans living<BR/>in the realm of objects are living in the realm of desire, and thus are<BR/>eternally tormented by that desire (his idea of the role of desire in<BR/>life is similar to that of Vedanta-Hinduism and Buddhism, and<BR/>Schopenhauer draws attention to these similarities himself).<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_SchopenhauerWoesonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17238799532701476743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035390.post-1126621762411691072005-09-13T07:29:00.000-07:002005-09-13T07:29:00.000-07:00There are correlations with the waking life.
