Resumo:Starting from that which Schopenhauer considers the assumption of all ethics, the inner meaning of the world, i.e., the upon human action prevailing diversity between the inner causality and the materiality of the world, this article firstly treats Schopenhauer’s critique on Kant’s philosophy, in which Schopenhauer affirms that Kant has contributed to philosophy above all the discontinuity between the ideal and the real, by substituting the belief in the power of the intellect by the notion of fantasy and including the factor of subjectivity among the causes of mood swings. Secondly, it discusses the world as will opposed the world of subjectivity.Here the tragic comic story of the world unfolds, because the will does not move towards an object justifying the world’s wear, proportionally rewarding the efforts that are made or guarantying the expected satisfaction.
