Resumen

SAMAME, Luciana. Acquired Character, Self-Control and Morality: Towards a Comprehensive View of Schopenhauerian Practical Philosophy. arete [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.1, pp.125-145. ISSN 1016-913X.  http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/10.18800/arete.201701.005.

Among the wide range of issues that have drawn Schopenhauer’s attention, the issue of character undoubtedly plays a decisive role. In this paper, I will focus on an essential concept for his practical philosophy: the concept of "acquired character." In Schopenhauer’s view, to acquire character is a matter of prudence rather than morality. Despite of this assertion, I will attempt to challenge Schopenhauer’s statement, by arguing that acquiring character actually involves moral meaning. This moral implication arises from a point of view that is internal to Schopenhauer’s practical philosophy taken as a whole. Consequently, I will try to make his account consistent by appealing to his own arguments.

Palabras clave : Schopenhauer; ethics; virtue; prudence; practical reason.
