Communication in the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer

Pages 142-157 | Published online: 01 Apr 2009
 

Abstract

Schopenhauer has been neglected on the subject of communication. Yet his instructive consideration of it is comprehensive and modern. This essay, the product of studying all his works, sets forth his consideration, which consisted of defining communication and treating (1) the transmission of thought in its entirety, from its noetic origin to its adaptation for audiences, (2) the complication of motivation and the unlikely efficacy of persuasion, (3) the arts as the signification and transmission of Platonic Ideas, (4), the philosopher's mission as effective utterance, and (5) the limits of discourse.
