Schopenhauer and the suffering: an approach to the four noble truths of buddhism
Keywords:
Schopenhauer. Oriental Philosophy. Buddhism. Suffering.Abstract
In view of the innumerable mentions and evident similarities between Eastern thought and the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, especially in relation to Buddhism and Hinduism, this article intends to present the philosopher's considerations about suffering, taking as the basis of his principal work, The World as Will and Representation (1818), and to demonstrate how his analysis is analogous to Buddha Siddhartha Gautama's teaching of the four noble truths and how both converge in the characterization of suffering in human life, its existence and potentialization, as a result of desire.
