Annotation: This article is devoted to the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, in particular, to his concepts of will, morality, and piety. From Schopenhauer's point of view, will is the main creative principle of the world as an unconscious and blind force. He bases moral consciousness on empathy, which is considered the basis of human solidarity and overcoming selfishness. Schopenhauer's contradictory relationship between goodness and the will to life is analyzed: a moral person strives for piety through the knowledge of suffering, which leads to the denial of will and ultimately to philosophical depression or supreme peace. The article also covers Schopenhauer's views on suicide, palingenesis, and nirvana. This analysis reveals the deep meanings of the thinker's pessimistic worldview and moral philosophy.

Keywords: Will, consciousness, imagination, aesthetic perception, moral consciousness, empathy, justice, philanthropy, suppression of the will, piety, palingenesis, ecstasy, philosophical pessimism.
