Sumario:This article investigates the cynical roots that are present in Schopenhauer’s eudemonology, in order to better understand the possibility of this orientation leading to a "less miserable life." Based on the reading that Schopenhauer develops about the practice of life of the Cynics, understood as a matrix of theoretical elaboration of Stoicism, we intend to consider what elements would be significantly present in his proposal for an "empirical ethics" to confront the "evil of life."
