In this article, we propose to shed light on Schopenhauer's assimilation of Plato's theory of Ideas and his distancing from the Greek under the conception that the facilitating medium of the knowledge of the Idea is art, with a kind of "case analysis": we will comment on, how for Schopenhauer, Life is a Dream, by Calderón de la Barca, exposes three fundamental philosophical perspectives: (1) idealism, based on the conception that "the world is my representation"; (2) the "true meaning of tragedy", founded on the lesson that heroes "do not expiate their individual sins, but original sin, the guilt of their own existence"; and (3) eternal justice, supported by the wisdom that "the world is the tribunal of the world", and thus the destiny and moral character of the world are intimately connected. |
