To understand and to give meaning to Schopenhauer, first of all, informations about his life have been given in detail. The informations given about his life is actually, has a great importance in exhibiting the appearance and shape of the pessimism in the basis of his Philosophy. After giving information about his life, the names which shaped his Philosophy are indicated. After indicating Kant?s effect on shaping the world as will and representation and giving detailed information about Schopenhauer?s basic Principle ?The Fourforld Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason? , it?s accepted that the world appears with this principle is about My representation.It is impossible to give meaning to word without subject.
