I28-R145-17184_oai2026-02-10 Müller, Florencia 2025-12-04 This article examines key aspects of the theoretical framework surrounding the emergence of the concept of "better consciousness" in Arthur Schopenhauer's manuscripts from his Berlin period (1811-1812). Fundamental to his project of constructing an autonomous philosophical system, this concept emerges from his engagement with Fichte's and Schelling's philosophies and his subsequent critical dialogue with Kantian thought. Schopenhauer develops his philosophical approach with the aim of establishing a genuine critical philosophy capable of demarcating the legitimate sphere of intellectual activity and distinguishing it from the domain of "better consciousness" - which represents humanity's profoundest essence and manifests beyond the boundaries of experience. However, Schopenhauer acknowledges the theoretical tension between this conception and his adherence to the epistemological limits established by Kant. Consequently, as his philosophy evolves throughout the manuscripts, the "better consciousness" gradually recedes in importance, yielding to the concept of Will, which would ultimately become the cornerstone of his mature philosophy. En este artículo, se analizan algunos aspectos relevantes en el contexto de discusiones y elaboraciones teóricas que enmarcan la emergencia del concepto de “conciencia mejor” en los manuscritos redactados por Arthur Schopenhauer durante su período berlinés (1811-1812). Este concepto, central en su proyecto de construir un sistema filosófico autónomo, surge a partir de su encuentro con las filosofías de Fichte y Schelling y la posterior discusión sobre la herencia del pensamiento kantiano. Schopenhauer desarrolla su pensamiento con el objetivo de construir un verdadero criticismo, que pueda delimitar el ámbito legítimo de la actividad del entendimiento y distinguirlo del terreno de la “conciencia mejor”, que representa la esencia más profunda del ser humano y se manifiesta más allá de los límites de la experiencia. Sin embargo, Schopenhauer reconoce la tensión teórica que se origina entre esta idea y su compromiso con los límites establecidos por Kant para el conocimiento empírico. Por esto, a medida que su filosofía evoluciona en los manuscritos, la “conciencia mejor” pierde relevancia frente a la noción de voluntad, que se convertirá en el concepto central en su obra madura. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/17184 10.34096/cf.n84.17184 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/17184/15486 Derechos de autor 2025 Cuadernos de filosofía Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 84 (2025) 2362-485X 0590-1901 Schopenhauer criticism Will Better Consciousness Schopenhauer consciencia mejor criticismo voluntad The Discussion on Kantian Criticism and the Emergence of the "Better Consciousness" in the Manuscripts of the Young Schopenhauer La discusión sobre el criticismo kantiano y el surgimiento de la “conciencia mejor” en los manuscritos del joven Schopenhauer info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cufilo&d=17184_oai |
