Arthur Schopenhauer on Ideas - Dictionary of Arguments
Korfmacher Schopenhauer zur Einführung Hamburg 1994 I 55 Ideas/Schopenhauer: not subject to the sentence of the reason. - To be recognized only by aesthetic perception = losing oneself to the object. >Aesthetic perception, >Aesthetic experience, >Justification/Schopenhauer. I 77 Idea/Schopenhauer: A central link between the views and multiplicity of the individual things of the imaginary world. >Imagination, >Will. As objects for a subject, the ideas themselves are determined by the conceptual; as objectivizations of the will, they themselves determine the imagination. As immediate objectivization they have more reality than the things of the world of appearances. >Objectivity, >Appearance, >Reality, >World. I 79 Idea: free from causality - not the effect of will, but its appearance. Cf. >Causality. I 80 The supreme idea: the human being. >Humans. I 84 Idea/SchopenhauerVsPlato: because Schopenhauer equates will with Kant's thing per se, the ideas in his system cannot take on the highest metaphysical rank they have in Plato - like Plato: the transient things are only by participation in the ideas, therefore they have a lower degree of reality than these. >Methexis. Ideas/Plato: equality, size, unity, similarity (= epistemological categories)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
