Abstract
This chapter details the formation, nuances, and complexity of Schopenhauer’s philosophy of nature as the conceptual space where science and metaphysics interact. It revises the interpretation of Schopenhauer as a pessimist and contributes to a better understanding of his fame in the cultural context between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
