You know why they called him the worm? Because he used to get his head shaved as punishment by his mom up until he was 50 and she died. He would write philosophy and cast black magic on his books and get his mother to read it but his mom was a high-order witch (look it up) and was resistant. His whole philosophy career can be summed up as his mother's rage. Only way to counter it is by reading Hegel but that leaves you vapid.

There’s nothing in him that’s darker than Ecclesiastes and nothing more anti-life in him that isn’t in early Buddhism and the most anti-life Upanishad thought.

Besides Schopenhauer literally has a entire system for dealing with pessimism and art/aesthetic is enough

Am i the only one who thinks Schopp is a bit overblown on this webzone? I like reading him, he's very enjoyable, and he pointed me towards the upanishads which I will always be grateful for. But in idealism he's merely an echo of Kant, in pessimism he's merely a reaction to Hegel, and all in all, he was really leapt past by Nietzsche, who seems more or less the only other guy who was interested him, and only insofar as a teaching example. Poor schope. His writing on women and noise will live forever in the annals of truth though.

Wrong. Read the Fourfold Root.
>pessimism he's merely a reaction to Hegel
You're fucking stupid. It was a response to the whole German Idealist movement who misconstrued Kant and the subject-object distinction.
> he was really leapt past by Nietzsche
Nietzsche was right in critiquing the potential for his ethics to give rise to passivity. Nietzsche conflated compassion with pity too often. They both agreed upon the irrational essence of the world. Had they had any correspondence they would have levelled similar cultural critiques as well. Eg. read Schop's "On Philosophy at the Universities" and "On Genius". What was nascent in Schopenhauer was brought to the fore by Nietzsche. Stop downplaying Nietzsche's debt to him.

I assumed you did it because he was the only guy you've read. If there's some other reason you'll have to look inside yourself for it, as defending the honor of dead philosophers through ad hominem insults to their living critics is quite emotional behavior

>. But in idealism he's merely an echo of Kant,
He's not though, his take is actually not entirely dissimilar from Hegel's despite their polar opposite methodologies. He picks something within the human experience and calls it the absolute metaphysical reality, which is ultimately what Hegel does too, despite them picking rather different things for this purpose. They are more similar to each other in this sense than either is to Kant, which is kind of funny.

Perhaps your problem is you are always assume too much. Neither Schopenhauer needs defending nor am I arguing for anything, much less presenting ad hominems. I just like to point it out whenever I see a retarded post. Fuck off back to your ebin leddit r/philosophy sub if you don't like it here.

>Therefore, if a man fears death as his annihilation, it is just as if he were to think that the sun cries out at evening, " Woe is me! for I go down into eternal night." And conversely, whoever is oppressed with the burden of life, whoever desires life and affirms it, but abhors its torments, and especially can no longer endure the hard lot that has fallen to himself, such a man has no deliverance to hope for from death, and cannot right himself by suicide.
