"In every page of David Hume, there is more to be learned than from Hegel's, Herbart's and Schleiermacher's complete philosophical works."

I am coming, anon. Expect to be reading my work in a decade or so.

>Hegel

"If I were to say that the so-called philosophy of this fellow Hegel is a colossal piece of mystification which will yet provide posterity with an inexhaustible theme for laughter at our times, that it is a pseudo-philosophy paralyzing all mental powers, stifling all real thinking, and, by the most outrageous misuse of language, putting in its place the hollowest, most senseless, thoughtless, and, as is confirmed by its success, most stupefying verbiage, I should be quite right."

"Further, if I were to say that this summus philosophus [...] scribbled nonsense quite unlike any mortal before him, so that whoever could read his most eulogized work, the so-called Phenomenology of the Mind, without feeling as if he were in a madhouse, would qualify as an inmate for Bedlam, I should be no less right."

No, the next step is finding a backdoor, a glitch if you will, to know the noumenon.

So it is true Wagner was a Schopenhauerian...

I like anti-natalists but I disagree with them.

To think that 160 years after his death someone finally caught him! Kek. Schopenhauer doesn't even want to mention souls, because it would be too suppositious and speculative for his empirically directed project. For him, music expresses the nature of the world itself. It's the expression of the Will in its universality. There is no talk of souls and their properties and self-negation of time.

Based and compassion-pilled. Finally someone that gets Schopenhauer.

Very based quote. Also, it's good to see you again Wagner-anon.

>Horace, Lucretius, Ovid, and almost all the ancients spoke of themselves with pride, and so did Dante, Shakespeare, Bacon, and many others. That a man can have a great mind without his noticing something of it is an absurdity of which only hopeless incompetence can persuade itself, in order that it may also regard as modesty the feeling of its own insignificance.

>Yeah too bad
Not too bad, in fact not bad at all, since he retroactively refuted:
>It is just as little necessary for the saint to be a philosopher as for the philosopher to be a saint; just as it is not necessary for a perfectly beautiful person to be a great sculptor, or for a sculptor to be himself a beautiful person. In general it is a strange demand on a moralist that he should commend no other virtue than that which he himself possesses.
Do you have anything better than these little ad hominems?

You're one step away from either killing yourself or achieving enlightenment, OP. Read philosophy, continue the search.
