He faced the realities of the spiritual path head-on and wrote extensively about them. I recommend his journals.

Love Kirky but I gotta go with Schopenhauer

Schopenhauer for sure. Both kirk and neet were among his admirers

the danish guy.he really answered the question of "why should one continue the fight for survival inspite of observing the 'absurdities' of existence pretty much everywhwere".
his simple answer was to take a leap of faith in existence and being itself and try to survive and endure ur suffering as one u may discover the ultimate reason for the existence of everything and anything that exists be it the material or the immaterial.

Kierkegaard didn't overcome nihilism, he just pushed it to the back of his mind

Kierkegaard was blindsided by his religiosity and Schopenhauer got trapped in reductive cynicism. So probably Nietzsche, since he managed to reach the correct conclusions even though he probably wasn’t the smartest among the three. Dostoyevsky was the profound one.

>> No.18658255

>>18657118
Nietzsche

>>18658199
Nietzsche was seen as the brightest light by the most reputable philologists of the german sphere until he gave them the middle finger, Nietzsche was seen as the brightest artist-philosopher, declared prophet by the most impactful artist of his time (wagner) until Nietzsche gave him the middle finger.

Neetchuh was a giga-simp who followed some chad and his slut girlfriend around Europe trying to seduce her and failing miserably. Kierk was a based vocel who rejected the tanatalizing allure of cunny in order to pursue a meaningful life of faith. Schoppy was, well just look at him lol. It's pretty obvious who comes out on top out of these three.

It is one thing to read about someone; it is another thing, to read about the works of someone; it is another thing, still, to read the works of that someone; finally, still, is it another thing, to read someone.
No-one in this thread, let alone this the entire world, has read the majority of works from any of these three individuals, let alone the majority of the works from all three of these individuals, let alone come to understand these three individuals.
So, then, who really is the person to compare what they do not understand, let alone know from firsthand experience?
No-one has even attempted to define 'profound' yet.

I feel like he simply started with the right axioms, but the path from there wasn’t that hard, even though he was the first one to follow through it. I mean, high schoolers nowadays are capable of independently arriving to the same conclusions by thinking about evolution and subjective morals.
