How does Schopenhauer analyse romantic love? What law of sexual attraction does he formulate? What evidence or reasons does he offer for his claim that opposites attract? What are the specific allegedly delusional beliefs lovers have, according to Schopenhauer? Why does he believe these are false beliefs? Why does he believe marrying for love is usually contrary to ones long term self-interest?
How would Singer analyse and evaluate Schopenhauer’s position on the nature of romantic love and its allegedly delusional character? What is romantic love, according to Singer? Is love based solely on the admiration of properties the loved one is believed to have? If not, what else is involved? According to Singer, to what extent is love rational (e.g., justifiable by reasons or in one’s self-interest) or non-rational (e.g., instinctive or a product of the imagination)? (Be sure to include some of his examples and the analogies he uses to clarify his theories and concepts.)
Critical Analysis and Original Position:
Raise one significant objection to Schopenhauer’s theory or his arguments for his conclusions. Is there a more reasonable alternative theory of sexual attraction than Schopenhauer’s?
Raise one significant objection to Singer�s theory of love. (This can be an original objection or an objection that, for instance, Nozick, Solomon, or Keller would make.)
Which position on love is more reasonable Schopenhauer’s or Singer’s? Is that position fundamentally on track or just less off track than the other theory? Could it be improved in some way (e.g., to avoid the objection you raised to it)? Is the improved version fully acceptable? Explain and defend your views.
Further Instructions:
Answer all of the sub-questions on the topic you choose to write on. They are requirements, not mere suggestions.
The critical analysis and original position should be about 1.5 to 2 pages.
