Arthur Schopenhauer (Danzig, February 22, 1788-Frankfurt, Kingdom of Prussia, September 21, 1860) was a German philosopher. Its philosophy, conceived essentially as a "think to the end" philosophy of Kant, Plato and is indebted to Spinoza, also serving as a bridge with Eastern philosophy, especially Buddhism, Taoism and vedanta.1 In his work later, from 1836, he presents his philosophy in open polemic against post-Kantian metaphysical developments of his contemporaries.
