La libertad herida: consideraciones ante la relación libertad, voluntad, causalidad y conocimiento en el pensamiento de Schopenhauer

Abstract

This paper examines the particular approach given by Arthur Schopenhauer to the issue of freedom and its problematic relationship with the human will, causality and knowledge. Such interaction is judged by not presenting the theoretical clarity and sufficiency intended by the German for such a theoretical set. For this, it is studied the paper About the freedom of the will awarded by the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences in 1839, collected in the first chapter of the text The two fundamental problems of ethics in the Spanish edition.
