Hey guys, is Schopenhauer really considered edgy misogynistic and racist by the general public?
I put a few of his books on hold at my local library online, and now I'm scared to pick them up
Pic related my google results, notice the first one

>now I'm scared to pick them up
He's a valid and significant philosopher, why would you even think twice about just picking up some books by him let alone be "scared"
"Oh no someone has right wing beliefs!" Tell em to fuck off anon if anyone says anything, not like anyone will though

Anyone with an ideology they strongly adhere to, for example a racist, will find relations to and evidence for their world view in most things they read, assuming that's what they'd like to see.
Don't judge art based on who consumes it
On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason --> World as Will and Representation --> The Two Fundamental Problems of Ethics --> Parerga and Paralipomena
Library people have too much to get done to care about whatever you're pissing your panties about.

If ever there was a reason to not pick up Schopenhauer

How about read whatever you damn well please? People from stormfront breathe oxygen too, are you going to suffocate yourself next?

Schoppy isn't very right wing, but I understand your point.

I don't know about your library, but mine always has some kid working there.
They are always sitting there texting, then I get the book and leave.
I would bet money that they've never even heard of Schopenhauer

his philosphy isn't right-wing but he was a very reactionary man in his private life
>oh noes does he waaycist and misawwwgynist :(((
>guess I'll have to dismiss his innumerable contributions to philosophy
>>7653077
the general public doesn't know or care who the fuck Schopenhauer even is

>racist
He was an abolitionist. Wow, Reddit sure is retarded today.
