Single thought and repetition in Schopenhauer

Abstract

The article intends to discuss theoretical and methodological aspects relating to Schopenhauer's metaphysics of nature, aiming to show that the notion of single thought makes room to the concept of repetition that, in turn, makes it possible to envisage a theory of possible worlds in his philosophy. If the intuition that bases the article has some value, then Schopenhauer's cosmology would allow thinking notions such as repetition and creating in a meaningful way to a discussion with the contemporary cosmologies.
