| Summary: | This article aims to elucidate the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer in its most unknown aspect: the ways in which man can deal with the will, reducing his suffering. In this way, an approach of his pessimism takes place that, at the same time, incurs a philosophy of life, for there is an explanation about the origin of life in its becoming and natural cycle. This pessimism combined with a philosophy of life makes his philosophy somewhat existential, since the author deals with the sufferings of existence and how to diminish them in this world of violent desires. Finally, this article aims to address how the ascetic life is, also, fundamental to an annulment of the will and suffering of being incomplete. |
