This paper sketches a discussion about the mind-body problem from a confrontation between Schopenhauer’s metaphysics of Will and enactivist theory. We show schopenhauerian thesis about primacy of will on intellect, and then the relationship between life and mind accordingly the notions of autopoiesis and adaptative autonomy of enactivist theory. Our main aim is to point out a possible dialogue between two theoretical purposes taking as common point the criticism of a traditional concept of cognition.
