I artiklen argumenteres der for, at Arthur Schopenhauers pessimistiske filosofi er det idemæssige grundstof, som Karl Gjellerups korte roman Pastor Mors (1894) er gjort af. Det bliver på denne baggrund også tydeliggjort, hvordan den i dag ukendte udgivelse er et eksemplarisk udtryk for den pessimistiske tendens i dansk litteratur, som var særligt fremtrædende i litteraturen i de sidste tiår af det 19. århundrede. Det er desuden hensigten med denne nærlæsning at vise, at den pessimistiske antropologi, som Gjellerup skriver frem i Pastor Mors, er udtryk for en trang til at revitalisere det religiøse i en ny form. I romanen skrives den kristne antropologi og det, Gjellerup mener er en fantasmagori af eksistentielle forhåbninger, som den kristne ontologi vækker i det troende menneske, over af en eurobuddhisme i bestræbelsen på at sætte Østens tilværelsesforståelse som den ene sandhed om livet. The article argues that the pessimistic philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer constitutes the ideological foundation of Karl Gjellerup’s novella Pastor Mors (1894). This premise also establishes how the now obscure publication is an exemplary expression of the pessimistic tendency in Danish literature, which was particularly prominent in the final decades of the 19th century. Further, the close reading intends to show that the pessimistic anthropology conveyed by Gjellerup in Pastor Mors is an expression of a desire to revitalize the religious aspect. In the novel, Christian anthropology – and what Gjellerup sees as a phantasmagoria of existential illusions in the religious individual inspired by Christian ontology – is substituted with Euro-Buddhism to establish the Eastern philosophy of life as the real truth of life.
