Abstract

This pdper intends to study the relationship between the concepts of pity and eternal justice in the Shopenhauer 's thought. We
intend to develop the following hypothesis: not only is there a necessary relationship between the concepts, but also this
necessary relationship is shown in two different aspects. On one hand, if a conception of eternal justice àbove to the world is the beginning of a mystical experience and it conducts the man to pity, on the other hand the one who is àble to reach the metdphysical (moral) stage constructs a new sense to eternal justice.
