We propose to compare the answers of Schopenhauer and Freud to the question of the meaning of pleasure and displeasure, given by them, respectively, in The Road to Salvation (WII) and Beyond the Pleasure Principle. Both respond in agreement, as they point out that human conduct or psychic processes expand between the search for pleasure and escape from pain (in Schopenhauer, based on the affirmation of the will, and in Freud, according to the pleasure principle), and the search for pain and escape from pleasure (in Schopenhauer, in asceticism or thanks to “fate,” driven by the unconscious will, and in Freud, from the repetition compulsion). Even though in the Schopenhauerian contradiction expresses itself a polarity between the intellect and the will, and in the Freudian one, two tendencies subordinate to the death instinct, we will argue that both authors are more in tune with this theme than with the dualism between Death and Eros.
