The good, the bad and Schopenhauer


Abstract of the argument on this page

Schopenhauer's influence in philosophy: a good or a bad thing?


One thing that counts in Schopenhauer's favour is his ability, equalled by few aesthetical theories, to account for the idea that part of a beholder's satisfaction with a work of art is in the opportunity it provides them to flee from the everyday.


There is more on Schopenhauer, here, but it is in Dutch: Schopenhauer on Ideas in art and Schopenhauer on happiness; Schopenhauer and Adorno on individuality.
