"The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short."

Try "On Suicide."
>>8264404
On thinking for oneself
>>8264404
Lol, thats the one On section I didnt read by him in his Essays & Aphorisms. Took his own advice
>>8264393
>reading translated Schopenhauer
kek how will you tell how good his English got?
>>8264799
When he was saying that reading Latin-to-German translated works was for plebs that wouldnt be able to completely relate with the author's thought process/etc, I had to shift around in my seat a bit tbqh senpai
>>8264393
>life is too short
Said a philosopher who lived in a time before the advent of modern medicine.
>try to read schopenhauer
>"Don't touch my works without having read Plato and Kant"
>tfw even your hero thinks you're a pleb
>>8265032
Plato you can just brush the Dialogues and flip through some of The Republic to get some of the Greek references (4).
With Kant, you can just read his wiki and the guy that slayed him (Heidegger's B&T)
>>8264724
same. it's really a shame that he's so overtly and intentionally misogynistic when the rest of his philosophy is so interesting.
>>8265032
Literally the only philosophy book you'll ever need.
>>8265041
Huge chunks of Being and Time could be summarized as "Kant BTFO," it's so great.
>>8265043
He didn't mind hitting on jailbait though. There was the grapes incident :)
>>8264448
Underrated
>>8265043
What makes you think his misogyny should be distinguished from the rest of his philosophy? I think it's a logical consequence of it.

audibly and visibly laughed at this
>>8266394
what? its completely counter to his philosophy. i dont mind the misogyny of aristotle or nietzsche because it fits with their philosophy. schopenheur's concept of the will should give him the same egalitarian conclusions as kants system
>>8264404
This whole post is
damn

im not trying to offend you, but do you interact with women that often? its just ive noticed that the men who hate women normally havent had as many intimate relationships/friendships with women. theyre literally just men with tits and no dick and they cry more often and they enjoy rom-coms. thats pretty much it. stop getting all your information from molenyeux and /pol-r9k/ and actually talk to girls
>>8266887
You'll always have your right hand :-D
It's good that you voluntarily exclude yourself from multiplying and continuing your family, it is most kind and thoughtful of you and we all appreciate it
>>8266887
wait, so if you dont interact with women were are you getting your information from?
if you are just trusting schopenheur then read his essay On Thinking for Yourself.
make your own fucking conclusions you delusional faggot.
im trying not to be virgin-shaming like this guy >>8266911 but its pretty difficult when you are literally taking pride in the fact that you dont interact with women at all.
i remember when red-pill was supposed to mean interacting with reality, but now it just means plugging yourself into the matrix of /pol/ and info-wars.

Nietzsche did a lot of good for the feminist movement, but there is no denying that he had many cringe-worthy opinions on women.
Science has proven that women's brains operate very similarly -- if not almost completely similarly -- to men's brains, and it is just a major difference in hormones via the endocrine system.
Keep not getting laid and not forming strong relationships by the finest of woman individuals, betas
>>8264901
he's right tbqhw/u senpai. at least with greek-german you keep most of the compound words and some of the roots
>>8267161
>Nietzsche did a lot of good for the feminist movement
Ah yes, the Nietzche that is a liberal, socialist, homosexual, feminist, and a "citizen of the world"....
People keep conscripting him into their own politics to support ideas he would've laughed at.
>>8267206
>a "citizen of the world"
this he pretty much was though
>>8264432
Well memed my friend
>>8267206
>nietzsche wanted to be german not cosmopolitan
are you sure you didn't read nietzsche's sister?
>>8264404
EPIC BAIT DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOAH IT'S OVER 9000000 BAIT POWER

He wasn't a fan of modernity. He'd be ok with dying prematurely of a fever.

Pretty cowardly if you ask me.

I left that open for you and you took it. Guess you had nothing of substance to contribute, sad really.

The Schop did tho
>>8267426

also, not interacting with women might be better than having bad interaction with women
The best he could do was his poodle, Mrs. Schopenhauer
