In this paper we are going to look at the landscape of the fatality which, undoubtedly, Cioran’s writings represent, with the aim of analyzing whether affirmative answer, such as the style of music and art in Schopenhauer or the vitalism of Simmel, to the problematic essence of human existence, is possible. This means trying to elu-cidate whether liberation from suffering in the human being is possible or, if not, to what extent we can mitigate pain by adopting other types of therapeutic philosophies (epicureanism, oriental philosophies, etc.), opposed to other types of pessimistic phi-losophies that advocate the denial of life, as is the case with Mainländer’s philosophy of redemption.
