Genius and its role in the Schopenhauer thought.

Genus in the modern aesthetics has especial place. Although this concept had wide meaning in the past, but its meaning have confined in the seventeen and eighteen century and mostly bound to aesthetic debates. Most thinkers that refer to this concept in his aesthetic thought introduce that as faculty of invention of artwork. Genus is the most important concept in the Schopenhauer's philosophy. He first proves that the world is evil, and believes that by tow way we can avoid this evil. One of the ways is art, i.e., the result of Genus. Determination of the genius's position in the whole of Schopenhauer's thought is the main goal of this essay. In the next step we effort that reply to this question: what is the meaning of Genus in the Schopenhauer philosophy and what is its different with other already putted meanings? It seems that Schopenhauer refers to wide meaning for genuine in comparison to other thinkers and he ascribes taste functions to Genus. This point indicate that the judging of artwork require invention.
