The objective of this dissertation is to analyze how compassion can be a way of negation the Will, causing all the suffering in the world. The present research was not limited to reading the main work of Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation, which the construction of Chapter I is based on, considering that chapter presents the world as Will and Representation, a recurrent subject throughout the Schopenhauer´s work, but it also estimated reading his texts On the Freedom of the Will, as well as On the Basis of Morality, in order to substantiate the chapters II and III, which focus on the ties of the individual and freedom of Will, and morality of compassion as a way to negation the Will. We do not intend to indicate the best way of living a less miserable life - as well as it was not Schopenhauer´s interest -, we do not intend to judge what is the best way out, neither the one of the hero who accepts life with all its woes nor the one of the ascetics, who renounce their own body, thus negating the objectification of Will. Our goal is to analyze compassion, moral foundation of Schopenhauer as a way to negation the Will.
