Abstract

In this research, we investigate how Schopenhauer assimilates the notion of Platonic eidos in his aesthetical discourse. By starting from his theory of representation and understanding idea as a degree of objectification of the metaphysical will, we will explain how an eidetic intuition legitimates arts (except for music). Thanks to this important Platonic concept, we will see that Schopenhauer manages to elucidate aesthetic experience and artistic work metaphysical as well as gnoseollogically.
