why are people so afraid of death?
suffering exists to impose improvement
if existence is suffering than the meaning of life is to reduce suffering
a weak-willed mind such as Schopenhaur's isn't fit to give advice to others, as his argumentation has fundamental flaws to it

I read Parerga and Paralipomena. I like his essays; he makes sense to me, and he has done some good advice. Would his main works be similar to his essays? I'm iffy about metaphysics, and I'm mostly interested in a philosopher's take on the human condition.

Depends how much time you got on your hands.
Schopenhauer shines in his 'side' writings that you have already read. His main work (world as will and representation) is honestly not great. Half of it is repeating kant and the other half is trying to deploy his idea that the kantian noumenon is actually a striving/desiring (but unconscious of itself) existential force he calls the Will. There are bizarre segments on epistemology and esthetics that can at best make you smile. He also gave a complete misrepresentation of Hinduism and Buddhism to make them fit his views (Guenon which has been memed around here recently hated Schopenhauer for it).
Then there is the four roots of sufficient reason which misses the iron-clad epistemautism of Leibniz and make it something retarded.
I love his style though, don't know if it reads well in English. Schopenhauer is among the very best in terms of 'life advice/wisdom' but his theoretical writings oscillate between forgettable, plain bad and extremely strange. He should have kept to making long blogposts and I don't mean it in a derogatory manner.

Thank you for the response. I think, for now, I will stay content with having read P&P.
>Schopenhauer is among the very best in terms of 'life advice/wisdom'
What other philosophers would you recommend in this category?
And, would you have suggestions for reading Leibniz?

Anonymous Sat Oct 26 11:45:49 2019 No.14060336

It depends. On one hand, those who take the philosophy and use it to accompany a negative outlook on life are really quite sour people that I have no care for.

However if they apply Camus' idea of embracing the pain and suffering, understanding the necessity of bad along with good, they are the absolute pinnacle of based.
