schopenhauer

just a few quick questions regarding schopenhauer’s philosophy.

  • what is the nature of his “will”? does it refer to the everyday will of the person, or is it spiritual?

  • why did he consider music to be the greatest art form? why was music the most “truthful” in terms of how it corresponds to reality and “will”

  • how DOES music correspond to reality, anyway?

and where did these questions come from? your teacher?
