Abstract

DIONISIO, Gustavo Henrique. Desire, Will, nothingness: from Schopenhauer to Freud, Freud with Schopenhauer. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.3, pp. 1-19. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2021.v15.30712.

The article aims to establish an articulation between the categories of Will - referred to Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophy - and desire - recovered from the Wunsch proposed by Freud in his Project for a scientific psychology - in order to retrace their path and to indicate their internal logic in the face of another category: nothingness, internally linked with them. We conclude that these concepts seem to be more intimate than it is supposed, because if Will is "without extension" and desire is a fiction whose mechanics demand relief, then its own satisfaction would be an inner denial of the Will.

Keywords : Desire; Will; Nothingness; Freud; Schopenhauer.
