The BA thesis ‘The Term Music in the Works of Arthur
Schopenhauer’ answers the questions about the meaning and
function of art, music in particular, in the works of Arthur
Schopenhauer. The first chapter briefly describes basic
principles of his philosophy and also includes his greatest
inspirations, namely Plato and Immanuel Kant. The second
chapter introduces and explains terms Will, genius and art,
which are necessary for understanding Schopenhauer’s theory of
art. The last chapter deals with music itself, with its
relationship towards nature and soul and with its function in
the mediation of pure ideas.
