Character, Free will, WillAbstract
This article intends to expose the vision of Arthur Schopenhauer’s Philosophy on the possibility of human free will, focusing on the individual character as the ultimate foundation of personal choices. The omnipresence of causality in our represented world prevents us from thinking something without sufficient reason. From were, then, comes our feeling of freedom and, most importantly, of responsibility? We will see what answers Schopenhauer gave to thos and other questions related to the Freedom of the Will.Downloads
