Schopenhauer's eudemonology is constituted as the art of living within the scope of happiness that is possible for us. The acquired character signals the existence of a "margin of maneuver" that makes possible the "wisdom of life." However, the exercise of this remaining freedom for the practice of life is also inseparable from the understanding of the spatiotemporal scenario in which we find ourselves. Thus, this article aims to investigate what the main contributions of Schopenhauer's eudemonology would be in the current context of increasing digitalization of the world, which brings with it stimuli for the constant acceleration of information, communication, and consumption, fostering hypervisibility, hypervigilance, and performance maximization.
