Schopenhauer is known around the world for his pessimism, in Schopenhauer ’scollection of essays and their major works," World as Will and Representation," abook, we can see everywhere on Schopenhauer and tragic life exquisite description ofthe boring and painful stunning. So for the purposes of the philosophical significanceof his philosophical core idea what he ’s thinking how to nurture, and for this "pessimistic and full of boring" life and how he gives way out of it?This paper argues that the key point of Schopenhauer ’s philosophy can besummed up as follows: The world is my (body) while the appearance of the worldalso will. Schopenhauer phrase repeatedly stressed repeatedly, then that is the coreidea. The world is my representation refers to the world we are referring to, but theappearance of the object is being formed in our body. Eye can see, the ears hear, theheart of the thinking, the whole human consciousness, perception, impression, andso all of this is the appearance. For plants, animals, also has its appearance. Thesubject is a prerequisite for the existence of all appearances, if the body is removed,the whole world (the world of appearances) will collapse. Because the subject andobject appearance are interrelated and health, so any representations are made subjectinterrelated. Its relevance is determined by the corresponding object in the form of thebody. This is one of the core ideas inherited from Kant, Schopenhauer over there.Schopenhauer called the principle of sufficient reason.Between Will and Representation, Schopenhauer cites Plato’s philosophy said.But he’s different ideas and Plato: Schopenhauer believed that philosophy is thedirect object of the will. The representation of the will of the indirect object. Thereare many different levels of the concept, but they are unified. Every idea indirectobject into different levels corresponding to different levels of representation, so thatyou can explain why the appearance of the body in different animals, plants, and sothe body will correspond to the same.Schopenhauer is the essence of the world will come, and the nature of the will afterthe conclusion of the blind. Then turn on the people’s lives are dominated by the willof a person’s life is full of repetition, blind, unpredictable and anxious feeling. Humanlife is like in a runway covered with coke circling in death approaching, can neverescape. Human life is held hostage by a desire to travel and like a boat in a sea storm,carefully avoid rocks and storms, but the ultimate fate of the boat, but wait for death and destruction.Schopenhauer prescription for such tragic life gives two reasons: a stopgap, youcan temporarily relieve pain. One kind of cure, once and for all, that art andabstinence. Schopenhauer believed that art was able to relieve the pain, because thewill to get rid of artistic control, resulting in a desire to go beyond utilitarian andaesthetic mood, so get rid of the pain. Schopenhauer believed that art can only be ashort man pulled out from the pain, because the aesthetic vision of art is ephemeral,will immediately be pulled back into the life of volitional control, and completelyrely on to save the life of abstinence. Abstinence from Schopenhauer ’s view is thatthe study of Oriental Studies in the Vatican come. Schopenhauer think Will is the rootof all suffering, does not deny the will, the pain will always exist. To solve all of life’s tragic, it must deny the will to embark on the road of life of asceticism, to ascetic,without me without seeking the realm of Nirvana beam.
