ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that close thematic resemblance between the two works is especially marked on this question of art and in particular in relation to certain themes with which is most closely concerned, namely, the critique and specific genealogy of philosophy and of aesthetics, the assault on the notion of disinterestedness, and the dissecting of the psychology of the artist and the 'recipient of art' which are, it argues, themes and problems which follow on directly from this particular question, namely, that of this very point 'where art ends and life begins'. Interestingly, given Heidegger's critique of subject-orientated explications of the aesthetic judgement, it is interesting to note that Schopenhauer too believed, like Hegel, that Kant's account laid too great a stress on the subject; one needed to start with the object of beauty, Schopenhauer believed, since the work represents the will objectifying itself.
