The Dark Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer was a German Philosopher born in 1788 known for his dark pessimistic philosophical reflections.For Schopenhauer, the underlying force of reality is the Will (also called will to live or will to life), which is the essence of existence. It is an unconscious and blind desire that restlessly strives for more activity. The will is the tornado that swirls inside of us and throws us from one place to the other, it is the source of our insatiable appetite that results in strife and misery.  Schopenhauer’s writing is far from the sterile and academic German of the time, his work is straight-forward, colloquial, concrete, full of metaphors and anecdotes. His philosophy sent him on a quest for tranquility and peace of mind. He offers as alternatives the denial of the will, the wisdom of life through philosophy, aesthetics and ethics.🛒 ⁠Official merch⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭐ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) Introduction: Arthur Schopenhauer(7:47) The World as Will and Representation(15:07) The Will to Reproduce(16:36) The World as Evil(22:52) The Denial of the Will(25:11) Philosophy: The Wisdom of Life(27:32) Aesthetics(30:45) Ethics━━━━━━━━━━━━━✉️ Send me anything you like to my mailing address:EternalisedP.O.
