Descrição
Resumo:The present work proposes to discuss the concept of suicide and its motivations for Arthur Schopenhauer and to use the epistolary novel The sorrows of young Werther as an illustration of such perception. To this end, we follow the following script: find the metaphysical motivations of suicide for Schopenhauer; expose the aforementioned philosopher's considerations about suffering and love; to demonstrate how both phenomena are related to the suicidal attitude and, from this perspective, to analyze Goethe's epistolary novel to expose an illustration of Schopenhaurian philosophy.
