Schopenhauer with its voluntarism system touched the foundation of the Western European rationalism building, instead of rationality, Intuition becomes one means of recognition of human existence. My appearance and my will classified voluntarism as the property of the life, my life are always shaking in pendulum between pain and nothingness. At this point, Schopenhauer thoroughly complete the building of his life will concept, enlarges human’s desire and pain infinitely, mankind had to wake up from the dream of optimism. Schopenhauer reveals a painful life for human, but also give a glimmer of hope for mankind’s survival and development,the research based on affirmation of the present and the negation of the suicide, Providing possibly theoretical support and moral salvation for the rescue of the mankind’s modern confusion and establishment of the personal value orientation.Modernization daily swept, accompanying to it, the modern confusion also be born,sense of nothingness quickly swept through every corner of the world, depression, suicide and other social issues come out one after the other. It seems that the development of capitalism has no smooth sailing, rationalism based on it was not able to provide the appropriate solution for mankind.
