Will, Intellect, UnconsciousAbstract
The human organism (Organismus) is, according to Schopenhauer, a manifestation of the Will and the body (Leib) Will objectified. Thus, there is a relationship dependent on the intellect in relation to Will. This appears opposite the psyche as the manifestation of an unconscious wish, and from that, the intellect is defined as a physical thing and conscious, in contrast to Will, which is metaphysical and unconscious. Rationality is an aspect of the human psyche and not its foundation. More fundamental is the understanding afforded by intellectual intuition, that really captures and shapes the world through basic a priori forms of time, space, and causality. In the background of intellectual intuitions and conceptual abstractions, however, are affective aspects, which effectively direct the intellect and determine placement psychic front of effectiveness.Downloads
