SUMMARY:

This research addresses the problem of Philosophy of Nature and the interpretation of the world as Will in the context of Arthur Schopenhauer's Metaphysics. Thus, it lends itself to present some differences between Science and Metaphysics, once the former has epistemic limitations for attaining the world in itself, demonstrating the role played by Metaphysics concerning the revelation of the “originary forces”, which permeate the world as representation, despite the importance that Schopenhauer attaches to Sciences as a kind of “a posteriori” confirmation (Bestätgung) of his own doctrine. This is it because the data extracted from the experience confirms his central ideas about Nature. Furthermore, it discusses the problem of analogy and its use by Arthur Schopenhauer as a resource for metaphysical interpretation of body (microcosm) and world (macrocosm), as the philosopher sees the same essence in both of them, that is, will (Wille). Indeed, it discusses the objectification of the will and the nature of the intellect in the animal organism and its inseparable relationship with the problem of matter, in both senses (Materie and Stoff) and its permanence in the world, either as an abstract substance or as a concrete material of perceptions. Thus, it presents Schopenhauer's Theory of Ideas in the Metaphysics of Nature. As a result of the objectification of the will and its free determination of the world, it is questioned about the Teleology of Nature and the “final causes’ paradox”. Finally, it addresses the problem of self-consummation of the Will in the context of the struggle for matter and conservation of individuals, including the question of pessimism and suffering that is essential to all life.
