Schopenhauer on the World as Will and Representation: Pessimism and the Solutions to Suffering
Described by many as the philosopher of “pessimism”, Arthur Schopaenuer crafted a dark, yet honest philosophy that has provided many valuable insights into epistemology, aesthetics, morality, ethics, and the philosophy of nature. He was also regarded as one of the first Western philosophers to combine ideas from both Western and Eastern philosophies, by integrating themes from Buddhism and Hinduism into his literature. In this episode, we will focus on Schopenhauer’s idea of the Will and his solutions on how to mitigate the suffering of life.
