schopenhauer wasnt famous until after his death

>> No.17904971

>>17904951
Bullshit, he became famous in his old age and he enjoyed his time.

>> No.17905008

>>17904971
never to the extent of some of his contemporaries

plus houllebecq and ligotti are equal to pop figures at this point, not very similar to schop if you ask me anon

>> No.17905056

>>17905008
Due to the shilling of Wagner and pessimist school he became famous. And people from all over the world use to write him letters and shit.
>plus houllebecq and ligotti are equal to pop figures at this point,
Houllebecq, yes.
>Ligotti
Fuck no, he is very underrated. He isn't well known even on the extent of his "underground" contemporaries like Pynchon and Don DeLillo.

>the devil's laughter is heard
>The sadness or melancholia that follows post coital orgasm, or post-coital tristesse as it is known today, is a feeling that Schopenhauer argued is a testament to his claim. It is the realization that we are all slaves to the Will of Life, as it takes precedence over our own happiness. Post coital sadness should then follow as an explanation to the conclusion of a segment of Schopenhauer’s Will to Life. If a person has been successful in copulating, then they have fulfilled their need to reproduce and are momentarily caught in the abyss of meaninglessness.

holy shit I know what he means I thought there was something wrong with me
