04.01.2010 - Interpretation of dali48
Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860), the great pessimist! ...
Life as Suffering:
Basically, life is not worth living. - In addition, it rushes inexorably towards death! - Also, the knowledge does not continue to help, - quite the contrary:
The genius suffers most! ...
By pity the care for other beings - including animals (see also "flora & fauna" etc. - d.48) becomes our own motif! ...
Redemption is the negation of the will - as in asceticism, which may come to the extinction of the will and thus to a state of ecstasy. In addition, the music is a kind of reflection of the will in itself. So it is the deepest essence of the people and things to talk ... (Rhinish Post, 04.01.2010)
Interpretation of dali48
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860) was a German philosopher known for his pessimism and philosophical clarity. - At age 25, he published his doctoral dissertation, On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, which examined the four separate manifestations of reason in the phenomenal world ...
Schopenhauer's most influential work, The World as Will and Representation, claimed that the world is fundamentally what humans recognize in themselves as their will. - His analysis of will led him to the conclusion that emotional, physical, and sexual desires can never be fully satisfied (see also dali48 etc.)! - The corollary of this is an ultimately painful human condition! ... Consequently, he considered that a lifestyle of negating desires, similar to the ascetic teachings of Vedanta, Buddhism and the Church Fathers of early Christianity, was the only way to attain liberation ...
Schopenhauer's metaphysical analysis of will, his views on human motivation and desire, and his aphoristic writing style influenced many well-known thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Richard Wagner, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Erwin Schrödinger, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Otto Rank, Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Leo Tolstoy, Thomas Mann, and Jorge Luis Borges ...
However, only five students turned up to Schopenhauer's lectures, and he dropped out of academia. - A late essay, On University Philosophy, expressed his resentment towards the work conducted in academies ...
In 1821, he fell in love with nineteen-year old opera singer, Caroline Richter (called Medon), and had a relationship with her for several years. He discarded marriage plans, however, writing, "Marrying means to halve one's rights and double one's duties," -and "Marrying means to grasp blindfolded into a sack hoping to find an eel amongst an assembly of snakes." - When he was forty-three years old, seventeen-year old Flora Weiss recorded rejecting him in her diary ...
In 1831, a cholera epidemic broke out in Berlin and Schopenhauer left the city. Schopenhauer settled permanently in Frankfurt in 1833, where he remained for the next twenty-seven years, living alone except for a succession of pet poodles named Atman and Butz. - The numerous notes that he made during these years, among others on aging, were published posthumously under the title Senilia ...
Schopenhauer had a robust constitution, but in 1860 his health began to deteriorate. - He died of heart failure on 21 September 1860, while sitting on his couch with his cat at home. - He was 72! -
A key focus of Schopenhauer was his investigation of individual motivation. - Before Schopenhauer, Hegel had popularized the concept of Zeitgeist, - the idea that society consisted of a collective consciousness which moved in a distinct direction, dictating the actions of its members ...
Music, for Schopenhauer, was the purest form of art because it was the one that depicted the will itself without it appearing as subject to the Principle of Sufficient Grounds, therefore as an individual object. According to Daniel Albright, "Schopenhauer thought that music was the only art that did not merely copy ideas, but actually embodied the will itself" ...
These ideas foreshadowed the discovery of evolution, Freud's concepts of the libido and the unconscious mind, and evolutionary psychology in general ...
As a consequence of his monistic philosophy, Schopenhauer was very concerned about the welfare of animals! ...
For this reason, he claimed that a good person would have sympathy for animals, who are our fellow sufferers! ...
Compassion for animals is intimately associated with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to living creatures cannot be a good man! ...
In 1841, he praised the establishment, in London, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and also the Animals' Friends Society in Philadelphia. - Schopenhauer even went so far as to protest against the use of the pronoun "it" in reference to animals because it led to the treatment of them as though they were inanimate things! ...
The Upanishads was a great source of inspiration to Schopenhauer, and writing about them he said: "It is the most satisfying and elevating reading (with the exception of the original text) which is possible in the world; it has been the solace of my life and will be the solace of my death" ...
Schopenhauer noted a correspondence between his doctrines and the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism. - Similarities centered on the principles that life involves suffering, that suffering is caused by desire (tanha), and that the extinction of desire leads to liberation ...
Buddhist philosopher Nishitani Keiji, however, sought to distance Buddhism from Schopenhauer ...
The argument that Buddhism affected Schopenhauer’s philosophy more than any other Dharmic faith loses more credence when viewed in light of the fact that Schopenhauer did not begin a serious study of Buddhism until after the publication of The World as Will and Representation in 1818 ...
Schopenhauer said he was influenced by the Upanishads, Immanuel Kant and Plato. References to Eastern philosophy and religion appear frequently in Schopenhauer's writing. - As noted above, he appreciated the teachings of the Buddha and even called himself a "Buddhist" ...
Among Schopenhauer's other influences were: Shakespeare, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, Baruch Spinoza, Matthias Claudius, George Berkeley, David Hume, and René Descartes ...
We usually are not aware of the breathing of our lungs or the beating of our heart unless somehow our attention is called to them! - Our ability to control either is limited! - Our kidneys command our attention on their schedule rather than one we choose! - Few of us have any idea what our liver is doing right now, though this organ is as needful as lungs, heart, or kidneys! - The conscious mind is the servant, not the master, of these and other organs; these organs have an agenda which the conscious mind did not choose, and over which it has limited power! ...
Schopenhauer has had a massive influence upon later thinkers, though more so in the arts (especially literature and music) and psychology than in philosophy ... (Wikipedia)

Er glaubt, dass uns die Konfrontation mit der Unvermeidlichkeit unseres eigenen Todes helfen kann, den Wert des Lebens zu schätzen . Mit anderen Worten: Wir können lernen, das Leben umso mehr zu schätzen, wenn wir verstehen, dass der Tod unvermeidlich ist. Camus versteht, dass ein Leben ohne Sinn nicht lebenswert ist, und geht das Problem direkt an.21.02.2023
