‘Fine, Invisible Threads’: Schopenhauer on the Cognitively Mediated Structure of Motivation by Sean T. Murphy

“…Despite this avowedly intellectualist handling of the subject, some commentators remain convinced that Schopenhauer is best read as accepting the ‘Humean truism’ that reason alone never motivates; rather, motivation always has its source in desire together with instrumental belief (Young 1987).

We try to demonstrate that in spite of appearances, Reich does not merely propose a soundscape of the city or attempt to fit any preconceived sound rendition of a city; rather, we argue that through this work, he develops a properly political practice and theory of the city allowing him to go further in the direction he first explored back in the 1960s with It’s Gonna Rain. …”
