>>14585128
very nice

>>14585113
Must have been fucking hilarious seeing this dude in real life, I mean look at his face

>>14585113
His mom hated him,
His wife hated him,
Goethe hated him.

But i think i'd like him.

>>14585158
he looked way better than you ever will

>>14585172
>Goethe hated him>>14585172

>>14585158
He is the pinnacle of my aesthetics, and I would be honoured to look as an old fuck just as he did.

>>14585172
>Goethe hated him.

>>14585172
How could his wife have hated him when he didn't have one?

And Goethe actually very liked him. That's why he was hurt that Schopy was criticizing his color theory.

In hindsight, there's no shame in being mogged by Hegel.

savage XD
unpopular opinion: if Schopenhauer had been given ketamine for his depression, he would have become Austin Osman Spare

>his mom hated him
his mom was the washed up equivalent of an intellectual e-girl that no one gives a fuck about any more, she was clearly jealous of his him
>His wife hated him
Dude rejected the thot for all his life after seeing through their lies
>Goethe hated him
Not true, although they had their disagreements

>>14586011
low dubs of truth. (Been to an exhibition of Lady Schopenhauer recently.)

>>14585373
I'd rather look like Houellebecq

This opinion is only unpopular because nobody would make this connection, not because people would disagree with you

>>14585967
>his depression
Why do people think his philosophy is depressive? I think it's actually very comforting.

>>14587372
Because they are depressed anon and are self projecting.

>>14585128
based

>>14587372
Because they think they understand his philosophy by watching a School of Life video and concluding that it was "Depression: The Philosophy" without considering the epistemic and metaphysical underpinnings of his work and their broader implications.

He tells it how it is, no compromises. If you don't like it, then at some point you will with further life experience.

Someone knowledgeable? On /lit/????
Now I’ve seen it all.

>>14585128
fpbp

>>14585113
Of all the criticism you can have about Schopenhauer boring is the absolute least credible.

If I were convinced by atheism I would probably end up concluding Schop was 100% right about everything

>>14587350
haha, you're right

>>14588354
Why wouldn't you suppose God isn't the same as the Will? Meister Eckhart believed so.

>>14588439
Well it wouldn't be Schop's brand of Will because that only leads to misery. Contentment can only be found in denying or turning away from Will.

>>14588489
Christianity also advocates negating life and asceticism, doesn't it? The difference lies mostly in the terminology. Both advocate life-negation, but one calls it turning away, the other turning to, the God or the Will.

>>14585113
delet this thred

>>14588520
a very narrow band of Christian interpretation advocates negating life... overwhelmingly it's life affirming
