Arthur Schopenhauer on Death

[@sean16hall3]

Death is the gift.

[@dalegriffin6768]

Death is the only tranquility,Birth is the curse,we are thrown into a shit storm of lies that never ends, Death is what fills the holes of life's bullshit .

[@dalegriffin6768]

Death is tranquility,Life is not a personal story, it is just moment to moment awareness

[@menzisaclown]

Schopenhauer was never a pessimist He looked at life and death with a smile on his face Suffering must be enjoyed as life intend us to do Death is the final chapter, relief I will forever worship this man

[@joejohnson6327]

When did he say that suffering must be enjoyed? 🤔 "They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice; that only a madman could be guilty of it; and other insipidities of the same kind; or else they make the nonsensical remark that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person." -- A. S.

@@joejohnson6327 Schopenhauer states you shouldn't commit suicide. Not to mention that suicide is normally committed for a supposed forthcoming conscious experience of relief or freedom from a current conscious experience of pain or discomfort, which you will not get because consciousness ceases at death with the destruction of the brain organ. This Schopenhauer also remarks upon as a contradiction. People commit suicide to end a current experienced pain/discomfort etc, but the conscious experience of ''Ending of pain, Relief from pain/discomfort'' for which they think suicide will give them at that moment, is a conscious experience, which they will not get because they will not be conscious in unconsciousness. The only way I can see suicide not falling for this contradiction is the act of committing suicide to avoid a perceived/imagined future pain/discomfort, which you are not currently consciously experiencing but think you might and you don't want to and knowing that death is unconsciousness. Such as when a soldier commits suicide prior to being captured, to avoid torture etc. The suicide would then not rely upon an expected conscious experience of a ''release'' or ''cessation of pain/discomfort'' of a current conscious experience, because the act to be avoided doesn't exist yet, so there is no expectation of an immediate conscious experience of relief after or in death. "Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment-a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to an answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man's existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer." - Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena, from the chapter ''On Suicide''.

[@AGirlyReader]

He definetly never said enjoy suffering, he put a objective negative value on life and was not a pro mortalist (at least not to my knowledge, he definetly condemned suicide as a negative). Schopenhauer was a pessimist by objectively judging life as a negative

[@TheBellCurve_]

Nah he didn’t want to be alive but made the best of it I’m sure

[@dalegriffin6768]

Death is life's enemy, Death is our comrade,life is a constant unnecessary beatdown.Suicide is basically just ending the curse early.If life was so important why is it in the middle?

If only Kant writes as clearly as Schopenhauer, it's really a pain in the ass to work through his works because he unnecesarrily wants to specify the terminology he uses but results in an often self contradictory and messy writings.

[@polymathable]

Schopenhauer writes really clearly. Its a breath of fresh air!

[@polymathable]

where would you recommend starting with Kant. I wanna avoid the bad and overly verbose writing as long as pissible!

[@jejyed]

I wish the narrator had the ability and consideration to translate the Latin...or just skip it.

[@justinwalker4475]

we need more deep thinkers. the deep slow meandering river of life has turned into a fast shallow stream of you tubers!o0
