【 摘 要 】

This paper aims at expose and debating the thought of german philosopher Julius Bahnsen (1830-1881), whose theory is an attempt at reconciling Schopenhauer's theory of the will with Hegel's dialectics, a kind of "real dialectics" (Realdialektik) and absolute pessimism. For this presentation the conception of tragic will be emphasized as a category not only restricted to aesthetic reflection, but as itself the manifestation of the contradiction inherent in the will, which both want and do not want. Rather than propose some redeeming way out of the circle of self-contradictory will, Bahnsen states the unforgiving nature of this split and reject the salvific perspective of Schopenhauer's philosophy advocated by Eduard von Hartmann and Philipp Mainländer. The result will be decided nihilism that find only in the category of humor a possibility of relief.
