Will-to-Live and Will-to-Peace

Following the denial of the Will-to-Live, there is "left only nothing", according to Schopenhauer, towards the end of #71 of World as Will and Representation.  However, as he continues, it is not a simple 'nothing', but a "peace that is higher than all reason", a "calmness of the spirit", and a "deep tranquility", in which "only the knowledge remains; the will has vanished."  Nevertheless, as he continues, "we look with deep and painful yearning" upon that state, without his explaining how yearning and painfulness constitutes an escape from the "suffering and endless misery" of willing.  So, what Schopenhauer's own words express is not an arrival at Nothingness, but, rather, a discovery of a principle that can be called the 'Will-to-Peace'.  The recognition of that discovery would have necessitated a revamping of his system, beginning with a determination of the relation between Will-to-Live and this Will-to-Peace.
