Will, Consciousness, Affirmation, DenialAbstract
This article seeks to oppose the eminently affirmative characteristic of the Will to the possibility of self-denial, or the contradiction of the phenomenon with itself. From this intimate laceration, from the intense personal suffering, as well as from the consequent elevation above its individuality, would result
the repudiation of itself. In the same way that we are always talking about the activity of the will, even in negation, also the suppression of the Will present in the aesthetic contemplation is analyzed considering the notion that the will disappears only from the consciousness, and not from contemplation itself. In this sense, the targets, even though they are not those present in the common consciousness, are still sublimated targets of the Will.
