Sobre la ética del cuerpo en Los dos problemas fundamentales de la ética de Arthur Schopenhauer

Abstract

The concept of body is essential as a constitutive element of ethics. This is can glimpse in the system of thought of the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. For, although in Modernity Schopenhauer questions the concept of the body as forgotten element to think about reality, the philosopher does not affirm that this is the epicenter of his ethics. Furthermore, for the Danzig philosopher, the body functions as a negative element; however, without the body, Schopenhauer's ethics cannot be conceived. In that sense, in the This research proposes the tracking of a possible ethics of the body through a analysis of the work The two fundamental problems of the ethics of Schopenhauer. Both problems are: human freedom and the foundation of morality.
