Abstract:Schopenhauer,as the pioneer of western modern non-rationalism,bases on his voluntarism philosophy,proposes the pessimism philosophy that the nature of life is bitter and boring,and that the artistic creation and appreciation,and abstinence are two ways to set free.His pain theory has particular social causes.Although it embodies the truth of life at level,the free ways he pointed out are too narrow and also too negative.After all,our lives can be rich originally.
