The ENTIRE Philosophy of Schopenhauer in 16:44

Arthur Schopenhauer is remembered as the philosopher of pessimism, but his ideas offer more than gloom: a diagnosis of the human condition, and a surprising kind of cure. In this video, we walk through his entire philosophy: the world as representation, the blind Will behind everything, why life swings between pain and boredom, and his three paths of escape through art, compassion, and the denial of the will. We also cover his life and his failed rivalry with Hegel, his views on love, death, free will, and suicide, his influence on Nietzsche, Wagner, and Freud, and the main criticisms of his thought. #schopenhauer #philosophy #pessimism
