The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer tried to speak of a theme very a little approached by the Philosophy "THE LOVE".
He tried to define the love as the manifestation of an unconscious
desire of perpetuating the
specie. Because consciously nobody would support to carry the heavy bale of the "life will" (name that Schopenhauer attributed to the instinctive desire of perpetuating the specie). Nobody wants to admit that all those love vows don''t pass of a natural artifice to guarantee the survival of the specie, that reduces us the simple marionettes or to programmed creatures to reproduce. Schopenhauer defends that this desire is not exclusive of the human beings, and that it is present in all the alive beings. For Schopenhauer the romantic love is a Christian invention. The “life will” will work in the following way, it approximates two people so that one will find in the other that characteristic that doesn''t possess. For instance, tall people difficultly will have interest for a person of the same stature, the parrots like brunettes, each man will want hotly and he will prefer the most beautiful creatures, because in these the purest type of the specie is printed. Therefore, the zealous search and impassioned by the beauty, doesn''t refer to the personal taste from who comes, but to the true end, the new to be, that has to conserve the type of the specie in the possible purest way. The men are sloping the inconstancy in the love and the woman the constancy. The man''s love decreases sensibly after satisfied, that doesn''t mean that he won''t have interest for other women, it is just treated of a natural artifice for the man to seek other partners. That explains the deception feeling that many try after the enjoyment is obtained. What is in game is the permanence of the specie in the planet. It is of that sorts things out that the nature selects the individuals characteristics that will be born. Tends like this total controls of the process. Schopenhauer had several loving relationships, but he never married, she spoke that when people marry will do everything for if they hate.
