This legend makes ideas the secondary result of acts rather than their source, or what the nineteenth-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer called the representations of a generalized prerational will. Hoffmann, or Arthur Schopenhauer originally tried to strengthen instrumental music against the (Italian) operatic tradition. Among the more important of his many sources was Arthur Schopenhauer, who argued that aesthetic contemplation was the only way to negate the inevitable suffering caused by the blind impulsion of the will--though Schopenhauer was sceptical about opera. |
