El dolor del mundo y el consuelo de la religion

by Arthur Schopenhauer

Que el mundo y el hombre como existencia temporal solo tienen la realidad de un sueno, que el querer como impulso primario del querer vivir, sin meta y sin limite, se resuelve como instinto individual de autoconservacion, o sea como egoismo, y que la vida no es, por tanto, sino el dominio del dolor, el mal, la lucha y el miedo a la muerte, son las tesis basicas del pensamiento de Schopenhauer.
