A razão prática schopenhaueriana e a ação por máximas

This paper examines the concept of practical reason by Arthur Schopenhauer. This philosopher denied the privileges that Kant confers on the reason, which believes that it may take a practical driving of human actions. Schopenhauer, with another view of reason, also not accepts the Kantian idea according to which moral action is that performed reasonably. However, our philosopher admits a practical use for the reason, based on the same principles of Stoic ethics. Thus, on one hand, we present the critique of Kantian practical reason that Schopenhauer made and, on the other, his thesis on the practical use of that power.
