Abstract

The human organism (Organismus) is, according to Schopenhauer, a manifestation of the Will and the body (Leib) Will objectified. According to the philosopher, in On the Will in Nature, chapter Comparative Anatomy, “Will is the agent on all internal functions and unconscious, but this organic body is nothing more than the Will objectified." Thus, there is a relationship dependent on the intellect in relation to Will. This appears opposite the psyche as the manifestation of an unconscious wish, and from that, the intellect is defined as a physical thing and conscious, in contrast to Will, which is metaphysical and unconscious. This leads to the imperfections of the intellect that are mentioned in this article.
