World as Self-Will and Prejudice - Schopenhauer on Sexuality and Women

Author(s): Hrvoje Jurić
Subject(s): Philosophy
Published by: Hrvatsko Filozofsko Društvo

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents Schopenhauer’s views on human sexuality (particularly on homosexuality) and women that were brought out in his works Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung and Parerga und Paralipomena. The article contains a critique of his attitudes and it attempts to answer a principal question: is it possible (and if so, in what sense) to consider a philosophy as being ‘major’ if it contains, and not only incidentally, attitudes of extreme arbitrariness and negative prejudices.
