RESUMO

The present thesis propounds the spotting and comprehension of the function of the notion of body in Arthur Schopenhauers philosophy, particularly in regard to his reflections upon metaphysics and epistemology. The body is better understood through the awareness of the fact that in Schopenhauers set of ideas the function of the body is entwined with the philosophers view on the so-called controversy about things in themselves from the post-kantian period. The introduction of the concept of body provides Schopenhauer with authority to negate two obstacles thrived on that controversy. On the one hand, the body fosters a knowledge which does not intend to be led to a dogmatism of the affection of sensibility by things in themselves, but on the other, the body is here reckoned as a means to access the thing in itself and as the core of an analogy argument which nullifies solipsism whilst favours the recognition of things in themselves in every phenomenon.
