r/schopenhauer

Would love your thoughts on this video

In which ways, Shopenhauer kept contradicting himself until the moment he die, as Nietzsche said?

Is this a nod, to his compassion ethics founded fundamentally on his flawed metaphysics?

I’ve been reading Arthur Schopenhauer lately, and I’m struggling to reconcile his deeply pessimistic worldview with political ideologies like Marxism and Anarchism.

Schopenhauer firmly believed that a person's fundamental character is fixed and innate from birth. He argued that our moral and intellectual qualities are "natural data" that remain unalterable throughout our entire lives.

If neuroscience and Psychoanalysis strongly disagree with that level of Determinism, where does the leap of faith come from with followers?
