Abstract

This dissertation is dedicated to the enumeration and analysis of the main epistemological arguments for the foundation of Arthur Schopenhauer¿s metaphysics of the will. To that end, we distinguish firstly within his thought: one transcendental approach, which consists of an analysis of cognition and of its structures as a priori presupposed data for all possible knowledge; one empirical approach, which will, in its turn, be divided into an objective analysis of the object of cognition and another, equally objective and empirical, of the very cognitive subject studied in the transcendental approach to cognition ¿ or rather of his objective counterpart. ¿ Our objective consists in evidencing and debating, in each of these perspectives, the arguments that introduce Schopenhauer¿s metaphysical point of view on the world, that is, his metaphysics of the will (AU)
