> Schopenhauer thought once again of getting married. He turned his attentions to Flora Weiss, a beautiful, spirited girl who had just turned seventeen. During a boating party, in an attempt to charm her, he smiled and offered her a bunch of white grapes. Flora later confided in her diary, “I didn’t want them. I felt revolted because old Schopenhauer had touched them, and so I let them slide, quite gently, into the water behind me.” Schopenhauer left Berlin in a hurry, concluding “Life has no genuine intrinsic worth, but is kept in motion merely by want and illusion.”

Just fucking lol at the bluepill of Shop. Neitz was bluepill too. They seemed to be shocked that prime pussy was rejecting them when they were in their 40s.


I much prefer the work of Camus considering he was a ladies man so his quarrel wasn’t something as pthetic as ‘hurr durrrr muh no pussy’ ‘hurr durrrrrrrr muh virginity

The truth is, if Nietz and Shoppy were waking up to a loving blow job from their young 17 year old lovers, they would have written love philosophy and how life is so great etc

> Nature has appointed that the propagation of the species shall be the business of men who are young, strong and handsome; so that the race may not degenerate. This is the firm will and purpose of Nature in regard to the species, and it finds its expression in the passions of women. There is no law that is older or more powerful than this. Woe, then, to the man who sets up claims and interests that will conflict with it; whatever he may say and do, they will be unmercifully crushed at the first serious encounter.

This nigga needed to get his dick wet frfr

Is he right? Are looks all that matter when trying to find a girl?

> The innate rule that governs women's conduct, though it is secret and unformulated, nay, unconscious in its working, is this: We are justified in deceiving those who think they have acquired rights over the species by paying little attention to the individual, that is, to us. The constitution and, therefore, the welfare of the species have been placed in our hands and committed to our care, through the control we obtain over the next generation, which proceeds from us; let us discharge our duties conscientiously. But women have no abstract knowledge of this leading principle; they are conscious of it only as a concrete fact; and they have no other method of giving expression to it than the way in which they act when the opportunity arrives. And then their conscience does not trouble them so much as we fancy; for in the darkest recesses of their heart, they are aware that in committing a breach of their duty towards the individual, they have all the better fulfilled their duty towards the species, which is infinitely greater.

Was he right? Is fucking chad the only thing women care about?

The most powerful emotion in existence is spite.

No great deed, moment in history, invention or piece of art could exist if not for the phrase "I'll show you, you bitch!". For example, Schopenhauer was filled with so much spite from the actions and words of his mother that he gave us some of the best pessimistic philosophy ever written.

Why is he the most polarizing figure on here? Seems nobody has an indifferent or neutral view on him. Either you like him or hate him

I just finished reading his main work and aphorismen in german and im pretty sure if he wasnt an ugly incel who got rejected by that 17 year old jb, he wouldnt turn into a bitter miserable incel hypocrite. Dumb retard aknowledges there is no free will yet all he does is point the finger at everybody and believes his views are 100% the purest and true. Just fucking lol

The World as Will and Representation by Arthur Schopenhauer. Schopenhauer's point about how reality is fundamentally one subject, and how the phenomenal world is the manifest appearance of that subject to itself, is immensely profound and a more compelling alternative to Berkeley's idealism.

/Lit/ is becoming a Schopenhauer echo chamber; let's try and change that. If you disagree with Schopenhauer, post a refutation of any of his ideas. If you agree with him, post an idea you agree with and someone will try to prove that it is either unoriginal or wrong.

>Stop reading lmao

What did he mean by dis

Find it a little weird coming from someone who read as much as he did. I think it true that reflection and thought on what is read is essential, but not everything can come from the mind ex nihilo

Based. Joy is negative in nature.

Why do all the people with meager intellects flock to Eastern(Indian to be more specific because Confucius is based) philosophy?

asceticism

Childhood is Nietzsche,
Adulthood is Schopenhauer

Marriage is a joke.

Two people so afraid of dying alone they settle for someone they can barely stand enough to be around all day. Fully caught up in the societal propaganda about making two into one and a proclamation of love they invite all their friends and family to witness their pathetic weakness, their inability to maintain the most basic form of loyalty without it being enshrined in law. To be married is to halve ones pleasure and double ones responsibilities, as Schopenhauer said. Disney is the god of modern man, filling the womans head with fantasies of prince charming and a happy ever after, filling the mans head with delusions of fulfillment, duty and satisfaction. Marriage is a proclamation, a screaming from the rafters. "I have given up". Truly a sad little punctuation to a miserable little youth spent poorly.
