Summary: | From the reading and analysis of Schopenhauer’s early manuscripts (1804-1818 - Der handschriftliche Nachlass - Frühe Manuskripte), this article aims to show the fragments that were the basis of the doctrines of right and the State in order to evaluate the extent, limits, and changes of the young author in his main work, The World as Will and Representation of 1844. This effort comprises three stages: (i) exegesis of the Schopenhauer’s early manuscripts, (ii) exegesis of the Book IV of WWV, especially the § 62 and Chapter 47 of the second volume of the work, (iii) evaluate the insertion, the extent and impact of the writings of the young Schopenhauer in the 1844 edition of WWV. When developing the foregoing stages, it is expected to explain the importance and impact of young Schopenhauer’s notes in his principal work.
