		<title>14) Pity as an Aesthetic Experience, Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine when one looks upon the familiar and sees in that observation an unfavorable difference. To make a point from the simplest example, take the moment when one looks down upon the poor. We can easily transcribe the inner voice of Reason within the mind of the compassionate. Undoubtedly, it goes something like this, “Let [...]]]></description>

		<title>13) Pity as an Aesthetic Experience, Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, Let us consider the assertion of those famous words of progress: “Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.” Let us consider the great error we face in reducing that which is property to that which is point—that is to say, reducing that which happens necessarily [...]]]></description>

		<title>12) Schopenhauer’s World as Will and Representation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the preceding in mind, consider that deep misunderstanding which overcame Arthur Schopenhauer when he interpreted that which was most intimate as being more complex, more entangled, higher, and more evolved: While every human being is then to be regarded as a particularly determined and characterized phenomenon of will, even to a certain extent as [...]]]></description>

		<title>11) Substance and the Will</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are two questions which have been bound so tightly for all of history that it is hard to consider one without the other quickly populating our thoughts. In regard to our mental evolution, we cannot say with any certainty whether our faculty to deduce purpose of action developed before or following the faculty to [...]]]></description>

		<title>10) We Slaves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The respect of oneself necessarily implies the respect for that which is one’s environment. This follows, naturally, from the assertion that we constitute ourselves through our environment. To admit this relationship is difficult—it takes the greatest respect for life and the most devote subordination to environment. Today I have found no deeper example of this [...]]]></description>

		<title>9) The Uncanny Valley</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And now my neighbors,* I ask you to imagine a building which has long lost its intended utility. Now, if by chance an exception came to your mind and the exotic remains of Persepolis materialized before you then surely you thought, “A great civilization once stood here and behold this monument of their success!” And [...]]]></description>

		<title>8) Locality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It happened that the painter continued his work under the heed which his neighbors had given. However, as he sat in the midst of his subject, a problem presented itself: the street was so lively with bodies and business that he could not see beyond a few steps in front of him. Therefore, to capture [...]]]></description>

		<title>7) Intimacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A humble painter who becomes inspired to capture the liveliness of a street scene is warned, “Be sure to not crop too tightly! Your canvas is only so large and the larger the scale of your objects, the smaller the scope of the scene. Totality is your aim. You will never know what your audience will [...]]]></description>

		<title>6) Aesthetics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The moment that Reason was deemed the most satisfying of the mental faculties was the moment that emotion assessed its own self-worth and then suffered reproach. Surely this was emotion’s greatest honor yet—to recognize subordination to Reason. Even at this moment, when Reason was lifted up to the highest esteem, it was our gratification—our resolve—that [...]]]></description>

		<title>5) Asceticism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every stimulation surges only to release from its captivity. Once an expansion, then a contraction; once a movement, then a void which sought to be filled—this is the play of stimulations which I have witness. But what is the scope of our minds? Can we comprehend the resolute existence which stimulation surges to reach? For [...]]]></description>
