BEGINNINGS OF THE WORLD AS WILL AND IDEA. CHAPTER I. SCHOPENHAUER'S IMPERSONAL WORLD GROUND AND ITS PSYCHO- LOGICAL BASIS. "What is this world of perception besides being- my idea? Is that of which I am conscious only as idea, exactly like my own body, of which I am doubly conscious, in one aspect as idea, in another aspect as will!" 1 The world of perception is through and through will. Will is only blind force in nature. In the lowest form of animal life it is impulse without the guiding idea...s; but in the higher form of brute creation it develops intellect out of feeling First comes feeling, then sensation, as containing the objective element, and finally perception, the basis of all knowledge. Will is primary and irrational, the world-ground. Intelligence is secondary, but through it will separates itself from feeling and becomes a rational factor, governing itself ly ideas instead of being controlled by impulsive emotions. Schopenhauer gives us the reality of the world in action. Only in activity can the will manifest itself as idea, and, in the activity of self-consciousness, the idea becomes a form of knowledge.
