This essay aims at investigating the metaphorical and hermeneutical sense of theater in Schopenhauer metaphysics. In particular, the main work of Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation, seems to have a peculiar structure that puts it in relationship with the hermeneutical structure of the theater itself, as it has been described by Gadamer’s Truth and Method. Thus, by putting in relationship one of the play by Calderón de la Barca titled El gran teatro del mundo, this essay tries to outline the deep sense that theater has in Schopenhauer’s philosophy, not only as a part of his aesthetic doctrine, but also as for his entire metaphysics.
