>“Nature in its life instinct is so good.” From there we pass on to Aeschylus, Calderon, Goethe, Shakespeare: “Since in your presence one must always discuss such nonsense.” — “Goethe, Cervantes saw and created characters, D. Q., Sancho, Faust, Mephisto; Dante, Vergil were wanderers who looked around them, whereas Aeschylus spoke like a priest in the midst of a community. Shakespeare neither the one nor the other, the most enigmatic of them all.”
>Nature in its life instinct is so good
Can someone explain how this man is a Schopenhauerian?

cool out of context quote bro
>It is looking like spring; R. goes for a walk, the hurricane drives him home after he has heard some blackbirds singing: “Nature in its life instinct is so good.”

not even schopenhauer was blackpilled about blackbirbs

>>19125963
The point still stands. Enjoying blackbird singing doesn't translate to "Nature in its like instinct is so good".

>>19126037
you confuse honesty with sincerity.
the return of spring is such a fundamentally uplifting experience, especially for old ppl like wagner was in 1881... no amount of philosophic deliberation can deny this.

a diary entry relevant to this type of error
>In the evening a letter from Prof. Nietzsche, which pleases us, for his mood had given us cause for concern. Regarding this, R. says he fears that Schopenhauer's philosophy might in the long run be a bad influence on young people of this sort, because they apply his pessimism, which is a form of thinking, contemplation, to life itself, and derive from it an active form of hopelessness. —

But Schopenhauer's pessimism denies that that very life instinct is good.
