...embodies the Desire for life, the essence of the world
My tentative understanding of the sentence is that every individual believes the world revolves around them, so to speak, that we all believe ourselves to lie at the centre of our universes, and so look out for our own interests only.
I admit I don't understand the meaning of *conoscente* in this context.
Kudos to Arabella for "essence" :-)

Example sentence:
Every individual feels he embodies the Desire for life, the essence of the world, and so thinks of his own existence and happiness, rather than those of others.

By the by, ain't this "italian psychiologist" lifting heavily from Schopenhauer? Sounds definitely like good ole' Arthur!
