Abstract

As a representative of the school of voluntarism in modern western philosophy, Schopenhauer's philosophy of life is often regarded as pessimistic. However, Schopenhauer has a positive outlook on happiness. This paper mainly adopts the research method of literature analysis, discusses the theoretical source and main content of Schopenhauer's view of happiness, and analyzes its practical significance to people's pursuit of happiness based on the current social reality.
