悲观的乐观主义者——浅议叔本华的悲观哲学

Pessimistic Optimist——On Schopenhauer's Pessimistic Philosophy

叔本华是西方非理性主义的代表,"生存意志"构成了他的哲学体系的核心主题,并由此成为他悲观主义哲学的基础,但深受康德二分哲学和佛教影响的叔本华还是试图寻找在"此世"中证悟并得到解脱的方法。世界在叔本华眼中是如此悲观的一副景象,却依然没有阻挡他找寻出路的理想,这样的态度本身是积极乐观、值得钦佩的。

Schopenhauer is the representative of Western irrationalism. ＂Living will＂ form the core of his philosophy topics, thus become the basis for his philosophy of pessimism. However, affected by Kant ＂s philosophical dichotomy and Buddhism, Schopenhauer was trying to find and get in the deliverance of the method of enlightenment in the ＂this world＂. In the eyes of Schopenhauer, the world is so pessimistic. But still, it did not stop him to find the ideal way. This attitude itself is positive and optimistic, admirable.
