Sumario:Our text intends to show that it is present in Schopenhauer's thought, beyond its "canonical" definition, another conception of philosophy that makes possible to think of a practical philosophy from a properly empirical perspective. Schopenhauer often defines philosophy as a contemplative metaphysical theory that abdicates from all normativity. However, we find another notion less elevated and closer to the practical dimension of life, guided by a more empirical and eudemonological perspective. This other notion of philosophy makes it possible to think of a non-descriptive ethics, which remains foreign to moral normativity, but considers maxims that serve as a strategic resource for a life more bearable.
