Philosophy, Immanent Metaphysics, Suffering, SchopenhauerAbstract
For Schopenhauer, philosophy consists of a conceptual reflection that allows us to understand the enigma posed by the inevitable existence of suffering and death, through a metaphysics that he qualifies as immanent. Because it is immanent, its metaphysics should not be understood as an explanation obtained through a knowledge situated outside or beyond experience, for it consists in the interpretation that considers the facts of the inner and outer experience available to all and the relationships of these facts with the world, through which we can understand the deepest and most hidden connection between them. Consequently his metaphysics does not draw conclusions about whatever is beyond all possibility of experience, and for that reason, it keeps hanging all questions to which answers cannot be assimilated through the forms and functions of our intellect.
