For this we seek to understand the inversion that makes Schopenhauer in his philosophy on the intuitive and abstract and the delimitation of intellect and reason faculties. For this, we will understand what the limits of the subject knowledge that relates to the world, the phenomena in the forms and principles inherent in this type of knowledge. In turn, we will also present the proper conditions to the subject's knowledge of the will as a metaphysical foundation of the world, being considered as "means" to approach, the body, the ideas and overcome the individuation principle. First we tried to identify which means knowledge of the will grounds the moral altruistic. Below we investigate the existence of a determination of the intelligible character to the moral and also the relationship of empirical character, acquired character and the motivations for the actins considered as endowed with genuine moral value. Finally, from the conclusions that the individuation principle overcoming is what provides recognition of the will as the one essence of the world and the suffering as identical to all beings, the definition understanding of character for the moral altruistic, we entered the approach about moral standards of Schopenhauer. Compassion, a sentiment that erupts from the individuation principle overcoming, is the basis of spontaneous justice and charity. With this, we contrast, finally, to the asceticism and understanding of the ascetic, even through the denial of the life will the individual has focused his will, placing it at contradiction, as the adoption of his way of life is foreshadowed by the individuation principle overcoming and compassion, he also appears related to morality. / O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em refletir sobre as categorias de vontade e de conhecimento apresentadas na filosofia de Schopenhauer e compreender que relação elas possuem com a moral altruísta. Para isso busca-se compreender a inversão que Schopenhauer efetua em sua filosofia sobre o intuitivo e o abstrato e a delimitação das faculdades de entendimento e de razão. Para isso vamos buscar entender quais são os limites de conhecimento do sujeito que se relaciona com o mundo, com os fenômenos, sob as formas e os princípios inerentes a esse tipo de conhecimento. Por sua vez, iremos apresentar também as condições peculiares do sujeito para o conhecimento da vontade como fundamento metafísico do mundo, considerando aqui como vias de abordagem o corpo, as ideias e a superação do princípio de individuação. Primeiro buscamos identificar qual é a via de conhecimento da vontade em si que fundamenta a moral altruísta. A seguir investigamos a existência da determinação a priori do caráter inteligível para a moral e também a relação do caráter empírico, caráter adquirido, e das motivações para ações consideradas como dotadas de autêntico valor moral. Por fim, a partir das conclusões de que a superação do princípio de individuação é o que propicia o reconhecimento da vontade como essência una do mundo e do sofrimento como idêntico a todos os seres; da compreensão da definição do caráter a priori para a moral altruísta, adentramos na abordagem sobre os níveis morais em Schopenhauer. A compaixão, sentimento que irrompe a partir da superação do princípio de individuação, é o que fundamenta a justiça espontânea e a caridade. Por meio do exposto, apresentamos, por fim, o ascetismo e a compreensão de que o asceta, ainda que, mediante a negação da vontade de vida, ele tenha como foco a sua vontade, colocando-se em contradição com ela, na medida em que a adoção de seu modo de vida é prefigurada pela superação do princípio de individuação e da compaixão, ele surge também relacionado com a moral.

Esse esforço compreende quatro etapas: (i) exegese dos textos schopenhauerianos em que a doutrina do Direito é formulada; (ii) frequentar os textos que influenciaram a filosofia schopenhaueriana na formulação dessa doutrina para entender o diálogo que ele trava com essa tradição; (iii) buscar nos manuscritos póstumos de Schopenhauer as anotações que serviram como base para formulação de sua doutrina do direito; e (iv) elucidar e compreender a teoria da ação (conhecida também por teoria sobre a liberdade da Vontade), i.e., compreender como Schopenhauer fundamenta os conceitos de imputabilidade (Zurechnungsfähigkeit) e de responsabilidade (Verantwortlichkeit). Espera-se, ao desenvolver as etapas supracitadas, explicitar a relação da doutrina do direito com a moral - tal como pensada por Schopenhauer -, entender o papel específico da teoria da justiça dentro do sistema filosófico de Schopenhauer, e como ela se relaciona com a tradição. Tal percurso permitirá o melhor entendimento da argumentação que constitui a formulação da teoria do direito schopenhaueriana, bem como da sua ética, que é para esse filósofo a parte mais importante da filosofia / Abstract: The general objective of this research is to scrutinize the Arthur Schopenhauer's doctrine of the Right (Rechtslehre) (1788 -1860), in order to elucidate and understand its basis, its formulation (how does Schopenhauer use and assimilate antithetical sources such as Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau?), the established dialogue with the tradition - such as Schopenhauer reads it -, the consequences engendered by this doctrine, and its systematic insertion in Schopenhauer's philosophy. This effort comprises four stages: (i) exegesis of the Schopenhauer's texts in which the doctrine of the right is formulated; (ii) to read the texts that influenced the formulation of Schopenhauer's philosophy in order to understand the dialogue he engages with that tradition; (iii) to search in Schopenhauer's posthumous manuscripts the notes that worked as basis for the formulation of his doctrine of the right; and (iv) to elucidate and understand the freedom of the will theory, which means to understand how Schopenhauer establishes the concepts of accountability (Zurechnungsfähigkeit) and responsibility (Verantwortlichkeit). When developing the foregoing stages, it is expected to bring to light the relationship between the doctrine of the right and the moral as thought by Schopenhauer. Furthermore, to understand the specific role of the theory of justice inside Schopenhauer's philosophical system and how it links with the tradition. Such course will allow better understanding of the steps that led Schopenhauer to develop his theory of the right, as well as his ethics, which is for him, the most important part of philosophy / Mestrado / Filosofia / Mestre em Filosofia

Afinal, Schopenhauer faz uso de conceitos cristãos para explicar os principais pontos de sua ética, donde se destaca o papel da graça. Para cumprir o meu objetivo, analiso, primeiramente, a filosofia do "doutor da graça", Agostinho, e, em seguida, avalio suas implicações na filosofia de Schopenhauer / Abstract: This dissertation aims to highlight the importance of the knowledge of the Christian doctrine of grace to the comprehension of the schopenhauerian doctrines of compassion and moral freedom. After all, Schopenhauer uses Christian concepts to explain the key issues of his ethics, in which the role of grace stands out. For achieving this goal, I first analyze the philosophy of the "Doctor of Grace", St. Augustine, and afterward assess its implications in Schopenhauer's philosophy / Mestrado / Filosofia / Mestra em Filosofia

This Ph.D. thesis aims to clarify the notion of will of Arthur Schopenhauer in a historical context. The understanding of will in Schopenhauer's predecessors - Descartes, Leibniz, Kant and Hegel - will also be covered. The paper will try to discover what impact their notion of will had on Schopenhauer's philosophy, which is the topic of the second, most important part of the thesis. It will present Schopenhauer's understanding of the world as will and idea. According to Schopenhauer, everything in the world is subordinate to causal laws, which the thesis also presents. There are even more topics to be covered - the partition of the world to subject and objects, which exist only for the subject, examples of manifestation of the will in nature and different branches of science, the impossibility of freedom and so on. Our attention will also be focused on what impact Schopenhauer's notion of will had on his aethetics and ethics. The last part deals with the voluntarism of Friedrich Nietzsche, who transforms Schopenhauer's pessimistic notion of a cruel will to life to an optimistic will to power. In relation to this, several topics will be covered - ressentiment as a consequence of the massive spread of slave morality, the cruitique of Christianity and Nietzsche's expectation of the overman's arrival.

In our lives we will have to make hundreds upon thousands of choices. The effects of these choices will follow us with varying intervals; some effects may be brief while others may literally last a lifetime. In these moments that we are forced to chose, it ultimately comes down to two options, what we should do, and what we want to do. Essentially, it is a choice between the head and the heart. Playwrights depend on these moments of choice, for it is the basis of almost all plays. At some point, the protagonist must make a choice, even if the choice is not to choose. In the early part of the 20th Century, a religious philosopher by the name of Aleister Crowley helped to define these choices, or as he referred to them, Wills. In essence, he stated that everyone has a True Will and a conscious will, and the path that you will ultimately follow is contingent on the choices you make in your life. Following your True Will, the path of the heart will lead you to a sense of Nirvana, while following your conscious will, the path of the head leads to a life unfulfilled. While some called him demonic (he occasionally referred to himself as The Beast With Two Backs) others saw him as a sage someone to esoterically explain the chaotic and industrial world of the early 1900 s. Aleister Crowley seemed to be one of those few men that you either loved, or hated, or hated to love. At the dawn of the 20th Century, he was an English philosopher and religious guru that made a call to arms to the general populous to start living a better life. His theories will be explained fully in Chapter One, but ultimately he wanted everyone to achieve their True Will and leave their conscious wills by the wayside. He felt that this process could be achieved through what he referred to as his theorems on magick. It is unknown exactly how the idea came to him to add the k to the original magic; however speculation reveals he might have taken from the original Greek word magikE. Contrary to the modern definition of magic (the art of producing illusions by sleight of hand), Crowley felt that his magick was significantly more complex. Pulling on philosophies from the Egyptians and the Celts along with basic Buddhist principles, he defined his magick within his twenty-eight theorems . Ultimately, he philosophized that magick was a way to enlighten a person, or, for the purposes of this thesis a character s True Will4 and to avoid following their conscious will. In layman s terms, Crowley saw it as an argument between the head (conscious will) and the heart (True Will). While the main focus of this thesis is on the tension and outcome of the decision of a character to follow their True Will or their conscious will, it is impossible to talk about these two concepts without discussing, at least in part, magick. Crowley saw magick as the practice and process to achieve True Will. This study, therefore, involves both homonyms, magic and magick. By applying this process as defined by Crowley in his self-named theorems to plays and musicals that have been defined as strictly magic, I am looking for not only the exact moment in which the main protagonists in each play define and execute their decision to follow their True or conscious Wills, but also to critically examine their journey to that fatal decision. I describe it as such because I feel that a characters fate may truly depend on the choice that they make. These philosophies are not new to the philosophical world. Other theorists such as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche and their relation to Crowley s theories will be discussed later; however I felt that because Crowley is the one who his responsible for rejuvenating the word magick from the Greeks in the 20th Century, I should be able to use his theories as a modern lens to examine A Midsummer Nights Dream, Marisol, and Wicked. I plan to take plays that cross both genre and era and consider not only (1) what can be illuminated using this Crowlean lens , but I also to highlight (2) any universal truths, by which I mean any ideological or philosophical ideas that appear in all three plays, that can be found in works as diverse as the ones that I have chosen. While their connection to True Will may be tangential in nature, if there are things in common in these plays that are brought to light using Crowley s lens, then I feel it is worth noting. By examining these two factors I will be able to see if critics have accurately defined these plays. My goal is to add the Crowlean lens to the already existing approaches to critically examining a theatrical piece. This lens, as defined before, is simply taking Crowley s concepts of True Will and conscious will and their link to the progression of magick within a character to illuminate the characters choices leading up to their breaking point in which they must ask themselves Do I chose what I should do, or what I want to do? The three plays I chose were done for specific reasons. The basic criterion was to choose on a basis of (1) chronology, (2) genre, (3) and magical reference5. I took three plays that entertained the religious, philosophical, and fantastical nature of what I felt best applied to Crowley s theories. Keeping in mind that Crowley interpreted his magick as a philosophy, a religion, and a way of life to ultimately achieving True Will, I felt it pertinent to explore these aspects of each play as well. In the musical Wicked, the philosophical nature of the piece asks the question Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? This question can be answered through a variety of subjects. By exploring these issues within the context of its main character, Elphaba, (pronounced EL-fa-ba), and a variety of themes throughout this musical (including behavior, appearance, deception, honesty, courage and labeling) we find that True Will and conscious will in the land of Oz are flowering. Defining our True Will, according to Crowley, takes constant affirmations and diligent calculations of our feelings and utilizing those to aid in making the right choice for that specific moment6. In this fashion, Marisol marries the idea of what the author calls magical realism in a post-apocalyptic New York City with a fervent religiosity all while underscoring the political nature of the 1980s indigent cleanup initiated by then mayor Ed Koch. Through the character of Marisol Perez, we find that not only is the choice between True Will and conscious confusing, but it can be potentially lethal. Within the structure of this play is also where Crowley s spiritual views on True Will and conscious will become highlighted. The Lovers (Helena, Demetrius, Hermia, and Lysander) in Shakespeare s fantastical A Midsummer Night s Dream is the perfect backdrop to explore Crowley s more eccentric philosophies on magick and how these philosophies relate to True and conscious will. In essence, I plan to not only explore the choices that these four individuals make due to acts of both types of magic(k), but their ultimate consequences as well. It also must be noted that during the process of this thesis, the one overarching theme throughout all three plays dealt with Crowley s theory of self-preservation. I feel that this is innately tied into the idea of True Will. By achieving True Will, we are inherently attempting to make the best choices for ourselves. This inherently keeps alive the innate human instinct of survival. At the end of this thesis, I hope to defend that Crowley s concepts of True Will and conscious will, when applied in tandem with Crowley s concepts of magick, can be a valid lens to examine theatrical works, old and new alike.

Se analizan comparativamente el concepto de voluntad (der Wille) de Arthur Schopenhauer y el concepto de pulsión (der Trieb) de S. Freud. La relación entre ambos conceptos ha sido poco estudiada. Hay estudios que señalan parentescos cercanos entre la voluntad y varios conceptos psicoanalíticos (sexualidad, inconsciente, ello); sin embargo, son escuetos en el tratamiento de la voluntad. Este trabajo describe vertical y sistemáticamente tanto la voluntad como la pulsión antes de señalar similitudes y divergencias. El primer capítulo desarrolla la voluntad (der Wille) poniendo de relieve sus características: su escisión fundamental consigo misma, su absoluta nihilidad, su primado sobre la representación (empero la implicación mutua), y, finalmente, la identificación, para el hombre, del sujeto del conocimiento con el sujeto del querer. El segundo capítulo estudia la pulsión, concepto metapsicológico caracterizado por su ingente voracidad y su arraigo somático: la pulsión activa y mantiene en movimiento la vida psíquica impulsándola hacia la constante búsqueda de objetos (contingentes) susceptibles de satisfacerla. Finalmente, señalamos parentescos y distancias referidas al nivel teórico (metafísica y metapsicología), alcances y limitaciones (el mundo y la vida psíquica). / The present research proposes a comparative analysis between the concept of “Will” (der Wille) by Arthur Schopenhauer and the concept of “Drive” (der Trieb) by Sigmund Freud. The relationship between both concepts has been little studied. There are studies that indicate close relationships between “Will” and several psychoanalytical concepts (sexuality, unconscious, it), but are limited in the discussion of the “Will”. Vertical and systematic descriptions of “Will” and “Drive” are made before pointing out similarities and differences. Each concept is revised in detail in order to identify the key connections and differences. The first chapter develops the Will, highlighting its important features: its fundamental schism with itself, its absolute nihility, its primacy on the representation (however the mutual implication), and finally, the identification, for man, from the subject of knowledge to the subject of love. Then the Drive is examined in terms of the greed and somatic roots: the drive activates and keeps moving toward propelling the mental life, constantly searching for objects that might satisfy it. Finally, relationships and distances are pointed in reference to the theoretical level (metaphysics and metapsychology), scope and limitations (the world and the psychic life.).
