Abstract
This article reveals how Schopenhauer's interpretation of modernity events –a wrenched out of itself age– opens up the way to develop a certain reflexive sorrow, which harshly discloses very deep historical contradictions lived by concrete individuals, socially isolated and having anything in compensation. This formof reflexive sorrow rises against the Hegelian claim for a philosophical understanding of history as reconciling individual's particular aspirations with the universal history unfolding.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
