Hi Group,
I have been doing some reading on Schopenhauer recently, and have a couple of
questions I am wanting to get some help with.
First, It seems that Schopenhauer has described the will as the ultimate and highest
force in the world. Will is even higher up on a scale of "value" than intellect. Now
I realize that Schopenhauer's Will, which is, drives like hunger, and sex would be
biological quality in the MoQ. But Schopenhauer also associates instinct with these
drives. My problem is that I have always thought of instinct as associated with
quality, or pure being like in Zen. Schopenhauer says that the intellect divides, but
that the will unites. To me this sounds like quality, and I think Schopenhauer has
put quality in the biological "realm", and has called that the higest good. Sounds
kind of confusing, but I was just wondering if anyone else had any opinions on the
matter?
Thank you,
Jason Nelson
