Resumen
CARDONA SUAREZ, Luis Fernando. ON SCHOPENHAUER'S LIBERATING ASCETICISM AS FREEDOM IN THE PHENOMENON. Univ. philos. [online]. 2012, vol.29, n.59, pp.211-237. ISSN 0120-5323.
This article is the second part of the analysis begun in: The Aesthetic Contemplation as De-Individualization of the Subject in Schopenhauer (Cfr. Universitas Philosophica, 58, Año 29, enero-junio 2012: 217-249). Now, we will examine the paradigmatic figure of asceticism clearly showing the aporetic movement of freedom in the phenomenon that is to reach the radical contradiction of the will itself in an embodied particular individual. However, this attempt is still a limited effort to confront the inescapable fact that all life is essentially suffering, because the search for a possible answer to the malaise of the world remains anchored to the attempt to make the world something completely mine. Through asceticism, Schopenhauer decisively renews selfishness; either to affirm it or even get rid of it. This claim is revealed to us as an aporia, one Schopenhauer could not escape.
