Schopenhauer opposed and despised the view of Hegel, who had the things-in-themselves identified as "idea", however he changed this philosophical perception, that is will, instead of the former, and that strictly conform to the principle of sufficient reason, the significance of argument what Schopenhauer was against the reason before. "Free of will" is made by under the irrationalism, which is to sincerely meet the pain and desire from people’s heart at beginning of awareness of subject,and personal will. Arthur Schopenhauer talked them to "can not be overcome", even that one will be increased as much as the degree of human cognition. Human power is very small, it eventually to be uncontrollable, there is an only way, that to develop for pessimistic attitude, and confront to this feature for non-perfect and born-indolence. After he has been criticized to Kant’s" thing-in-itself", set up about a new field of the researching of Humanism.The latter commented on him focus on "passive freedom", then approach to thinking of his pessimism.This article primarily argue on his will and exacted negative idea in it, from what he had expressed on "appearance of word". Negative is equal to affirmative, negative of liberty meanings on that people can be got rid of themselves, negate human evil, to reproach the real freedom and liberation. The "negation" is the core of his idea, at the same time it is the portal of his irrational will and pessimism. Kant’s thing-in-itself, which is completely to be free, it is detached to the human being,whose emotional cognitive ability.The Schopenhauer’s view can go as follows:the World is will as well as Representation, each of them complying with the principle of sufficient reason, that is also ideology of reason. Schopenhauer has distinguished appearance with will, the result is that will is an nature of world, so which is pure and unrestrained. The purpose on human being to be between appearance and will, to recognize for will, and cast away the agony and desire born of person, finally help the will for becoming thorough freedom, the reason is that people is the subject of world, who has emotional comprehension. He declared this process of self-denial of will, otherwise will is consisted of contradiction by itself, on the one hand be affected by human’s consciousness, but anther hand there is desire of free will. By means of going on the way of asceticism and art.For becoming to the free will, through negate and extinct own aspiration. However much too difficult to do it, for it must be absolutely of one’s own will.Gradually reflect on its contradiction, he limitation and restriction on free will. For us understanding of will with its object, which is appearance, that could be overstepped out our narrow comprehension. The purpose on negation is looking for free will, actually its essence on this:human as be identity for the universe, whose will is filled with pain, but obscured to liberty factor between will and pain, only make negative will to rule out own defect, constantly would break away constriction of painful will, generate on freedom from will, following that finally will reach to the exhaustive freedom.
