Schopenhauer, Metaphysics of Beauty, ArchitectureAbstract
This article intends to shed light on the nature of Schopenhauer’s Aesthetics by exposing the meaning that architecture takes for the author. This form of art, which deals with the most primitive forces of matter – gravity and resistance – is at the bottom of arts’ pyramid. This, however, does not mean that such form of art is not exemplary of the artistic creation. On the contrary, for him architecture exhibits one of the most important specificities of the Metaphysics of Beauty, the one that shows that a work of art is not a copy of anything, referring itself in a very particular way to the world as we represent it. This peculiarity makes architecture approximate music, the noblest of all forms of art, which contains the least possible connection with material elements.Downloads
