Abstract

The aim here is to show the importance that the notion of understanding acquires in the theory of knowledge of Schopenhauer. This notion, as will be shown, is based on the unit representative, made possible by the interplay between subject and object. Will be used here as main reference the book I of The World as Will and representation of the philosopher in question, beyond will used texts of commentators related with the subject approached here treaty. Based on what was searched was reached the conclusion that the role of understanding, as Schopenhauer describes it, is of fundamental importance to knowledge, and, in this light, reason, or abstract knowledge, takes a secondary role, the namely the formulation of concepts, so it would be impossible the existence of abstract knowledge without the knowledge made possible by the intuitive understanding, but rather the opposite would be possible
