Résumé

The human intellect is said to be so constituted that general ideas arise by abstraction from particular observations, and therefore come after them in point of time. If this is what actually occurs, as happens in the case of a man who has to depend solely upon his own experience for what he learns,—who has no teacher and no book,—such a man knows quite well which of his particular observations belong to and are represented by each of his general ideas. He has a perfect acquaintance with both sides of his experience, and accordingly he treats everything that comes in his way from a right standpoint. This might be called the natural method of education...

To acquire a knowledge of the world might be defined as the aim of all education; and it follows from what I have said that special stress should be laid upon beginning to acquire this knowledge at the right end. As I have shown, this means, in the main, that the particular observation of a thing shall precede the general idea of it; further, that narrow and circumscribed ideas shall come before ideas of a wide range. It means, therefore, that the whole system of education shall follow in the steps that must have been taken by the ideas themselves in the course of their formation. But whenever any of these steps are skipped or left out the instruction is defective, and the ideas obtained are false; and finally a distorted view of the world arises, peculiar to the individual himself—a view such as almost everyone entertains for some time, and most men for as long as they live. No one can look into his own mind without seeing that it was only after reaching a very mature age, and in some cases when he least expected it, that he came to a right understanding or a clear view of many matters in his life that, after all, were not very difficult or complicated. Up till then they were points in his knowledge of the world which were still obscure, due to his having skipped some particular lesson in those early days of his education, whatever it may have been like—whether artificial and conventional, or of that natural kind which is based upon individual experience.

Auteur

  • Arthur Schopenhauer (auteur)

    Schopenhauer est un philosophe allemand né en 1788. Son père le destinait au commerce, mais sa mère, romancière reconnue, lui ouvre les portes des lettres. Il s’intéresse rapidement à la philosophie et particulièrement à Kant, dont il se dira le successeur. La grande différence conceptuelle entre le maître et le disciple concerne une forme de réhabilitation de la subjectivité comme moyen de connaissance. Alors que pour Kant, seules l’intuition et la raison nous permettent d’atteindre une connaissance objective des phénomènes, Schopenhauer décèle dans la Volonté qui habite chaque individu cette chose qui anime le monde et les êtres et qui devient le point de départ d’une connaissance du monde, intime et subjective, plutôt que scientifique et objective. Cette expérience radicale du monde et de nous-même nous oblige à mesurer le combat, que se livrent les différentes volontés, pour dominer, d’où l’idée que la vie n’est que souffrance. Mus par leurs désirs, les hommes peuvent aussi connaître l’amour de l’autre, mais ce n’est que la manifestation d’une volonté de puissance qui échappe à leur contrôle, et qui paradoxalement, les domine. Ce que n’est qu’à la fin de sa vie que Schopenhauer est reconnu pour l’importance de son œuvre, principalement pour son ouvrage Le Monde comme Volonté et comme représentation publié pour la première fois en 1819. L’auteur décède en 1860.
