In this essay I am going to examine the meaning of the absent will in Schopenhauer’s willless subject of knowledge. I will try to answer the question of why the genius have to get rid of her will during her creative process and the consequences if the individual will prevail. I will also compare Nietzsche’s description of ”rausch” with Schopenhauer’s will-less subject of knowledge. Finally, I will try to place Schopenhauer’s will-less subject of knowledge in a contemporary context.
