Platonic realm of forms, mathematics, theology = upwardSchopenhauer's will to live, psychoanalysis = downward
>>25227150I just don't see the whole "upward downward" thing. Could you be more specific?
>>25227153One contemplates plato's forms, for instance, by shooting one's consciousness from the material world, and up onto the heavens and beyond this world. We can see this tendency represented in the paintings 'the school of athens' as well as 'the death of socrates' wherein plato and socrates, respectively, both appear pointing up. Traditionalism is also concerned with a 'world above', but perhaps that's the nature of all religions.Now, though will to live manifests itself everywhere in "nature", which is what we call its phenomenal appearance, is the way by which one apprehends it as thing-in-itself not to look at that which is irrational and involuntary in oneself? Is this not a lower part of the human, considering consciousness sits at the top? And psychoanalysis goes even further. Isn't it all about probing deep into the subconscious?Does that make sense?

>>25227174I always saw it as more of an "inward-upwards" thing

Thanks>>25227239Thanks
Fags don't realize that when women refer to a love interest as a "boy" its cute by way of expressing immaturity but when fags themselves do it they just come off as predators.
