Schopenhauer: The World as Will and Representation and How to Transcend Pessimism

[@metamorphosis_77]

Schopenhauer, with his works, has rightfully earned a place in the pantheon of philosophers across space and time. In my first introduction to him, he made me a pessimist. But then he helped me enjoy life. His words can be mesmerizing and can alleviate the pain of existence for most of us insofar as we open our hearts and our minds to them.

TY!

At 42yrs old his work makes more sense to me now than it did when I was younger.

[@metamorphosis_77]

Likewise

The Wisdom Of Life/Counsels And Maxims was a GREAT listen for me by him. Thanks for the vid💚

[@metamorphosis_77]

yep love both

[@anujdatta6162]

Schopenhauer called the upanishads the solace of his life. I agree

[@annfinnerty9800]

Thank you, your videos are so well explained. I enjoyed the quote you presented it was an ugly truth about life. When you can see the ugly truth I believe there is a deeper appreciation for things that are beautiful in this life. Contradictions( aka balance) creates range and acceptance allows depth in my experience of growth

[@metamorphosis_77]

You wake up somehow and you appreciate things that were elusive before.

Having a flamboyant hairdo or facial hair is a requirement for great philosophers.

[@metamorphosis_77]

That's such an epic style. Seriously considering it when I grow old.

[@paivera]

Beautiful work and I also enjoyed the little changes you made in your editing and in your channel as a whole.

[@metamorphosis_77]

Thank you Fabio. And thank you for letting me use your unreal illustrations.

[@johnsondominic7098]

Absolutely loved the video. This line of metaphysics I am loving it. Would love more abt Schopenhauer

[@metamorphosis_77]

Hegel coming and the Heidegger

Life is absurd! The only thing I know for sure, is that I am unsure about everything I know. Well, everything I think I know. Someone else has said that, or something like it I'm sure, but the older I get the more sure I am that it is true. Nothing is certain. We are all prone to perspective. Thank you, very thought provoking. (I do want to say, but don't like to, please work on losing the 'ers', I noticed many and then it became very distracting. Sorry - my problem probably.) Namaste

[@metamorphosis_77]

I know it's a problem but it's part of the narration it comes out easier but I will work on it :)

[@EdT.-xt6yv]

4:50 transcend absurdity,,,Best to see his view according to his subordinate position in his era? Or he was the first philosopher suffering from depression able to make the symptoms a philosophy?

[@fahd6107]

What’s the name of the music in the background ?

[@metamorphosis_77]

Which part?
