    Schopenhauer’s theory of architecture
    (Wiley‐Blackwell, 2011) Korab‐Karpowicz, W. Julian; Vandenabeele, B.
    In contrast to the philosophers who can be associated with the classical tradition that goes back to Plato and Aristotle, Schopenhauer rejected the view that human actions could be subject to the direction of a controlling and dispassionate intellect, capable of molding our character. He regarded human beings as embodiments of will. For him, the will was “the substance of man, the intellect the accident”. Like Thomas Hobbes, he affirmed the priority of passions, of will, over reason.
