'Studies in Pessimism' by Arthur Schopenhauer - FULL AudioBook | Greatest🌟AudioBooks - Arthur Schopenhauer (22 February 1788 - 21 September 1860) was a German philosopher best known for his book, The World as Will and Representation (German: Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung), in which he claimed that our world is driven by a continually dissatisfied will, continually seeking satisfaction. Independently arriving at many of the same conclusions of Eastern philosophy, he maintained that the "truth was recognized by the sages of India"; consequently, his solutions to suffering were similar to those of Vedantic and Buddhist thinkers (e.g., asceticism). The influence of "transcendental ideality" led him to choose atheism.
At age 25, he published his doctoral dissertation, On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, which examined the four distinct aspects of experience in the phenomenal world. Consequently, his work has proven highly influential in the history of phenomenology, influencing the thinking of 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.

I struggle with loneliness and depression. I like to seek out these kinds of writings because I feel like the only hope is really getting to the bottom of all this. Contemplating the darkest thoughts of life and existence, then gaining some poise and composure off of a solid foundation

@eatbliss8895 2 жыл бұрын

That seems very astute of you. Just don't forget, after contemplation, to use your newfound poise and composure in action. Then, with time, the struggle is no longer perceived as a struggle and abates, little by little. Merely dwelling on these thoughts could make the struggle more difficult, without applying the knowledge that comes from contemplation. I hope this makes sense. LOL

You are completely correct. Do you know how I'm able to practice saxophone alone for 4 hrs per day? How I find the discipline to do this? Because I fully accept suffering. I assume that life is suffering and there is no escape. Once you fully accept suffering you can do anything. The pain in your mind will no longer stop you. The desire for comfort will not stop you. You can go and work out like crazy or work as hard as you can. Because you fully realize the truth. Suffering is all there is. Then you can choose to go out in a blaze of glory, like a warrior picking up the sword and charging into a pack of Orcs.

This is one of the most interesting and strangely satisfying books I've ever read/listened to. Topics like these are so rarely discussed now a days, some stuff he brought up was like a revelation "He just described something to the t that I've internally been thinking about my all life!..." and you realize you're not the only one thinking about it, however bizzare it might be to social norms. And it keeps going like that, right on point with so much. Like a great satire of life and the shallow standards we've wrapped around it 🙃 Oh, and the narrator is f***king perfect for this Have to edit and add, one of the last chapters is kind of crazy. The way he talks about women is unhealthy, even for that time. Perhaps he's right about his observations, but he's leaving out the equally messy sides of men, and it all comes off as some egocentric rant. Great intellect he may have had, but bitter af about the ladies

@benyamin1059 Жыл бұрын

He was "bitter" towards females exactly because of his great intellect! The lack of intellect and accountability and hypocritical morals and deceiving ways of women - that turned him off and created his negative view on the natureof himan females (even in his time when the women were still better than modern western women)!

@JackVogel2024 Жыл бұрын

@@benyamin1059 Kind of agree. Women has issues with their moral compass, mostly in the realm of emotions and spirit. Still I think that men has just as many issues, just more practical in nature. For every cheat, every theft, every lie of a woman, I believe it is matched by a man, though the specifics will differ. Women more likely to betray for emotional gain, men for practical gain. We're all f****ing idiots, and by pretending ones self is not, true growth becomes impossible, stuck in a loop of blame, anger and denial! Intellect and ego are contradictory from ground up, and usually in conflict with each other 🤠

Sexism is so fascinating because he goes from talking about how women are often caring for men at their earliest ages and at their last breaths; he goes on to say they take no action and no strength and are children their whole life long. It is fascinating that someone who clearly fancies themselves so observant does not see the inherent contradictions. In this, he has accorded "brutes" more intelligence and respect than women.

As if many of us here tried to express their awe in regards to the thoughts of Schopenhauer but still feared being labeled as 'misogynists', if they could anyhow relate to that rather humorous depiction of how Schopenhauer saw women at that point of his life. We have not made the world any better than it was back then and it is sad, on the other hand, that we willingly choose to censor our modern thoughts to fit with the agenda given to us by others

i agree very much with his point about only being able to perceive beauty once you take a step back, either in actual space or in time. in the moment everything is hard, chaotic and really not all that enjoyable. it's only after we have the power of hindsight that we can start manipulating those events and feel control over them. and it's that sense of control and understanding we then perceive as pleasurable , meaningful, beautiful etc. what our electronic devices allow us to do is to enter this state of being at any time in any place. you take out your phone cause you feel you aren't in control of the situation, and by being able to observe instead of participate that feeling goes away.

@metalcraftwroughtiron4886 Жыл бұрын

Interesting thoughts. Agree with your thinking here. I have noticed myself doing the same thing. I have written down my feelings in the middle of something negative or positive and later returning to these writings thinking that the writer has a negative view of the situation. The reader thinks that as time has passed that the positive situations were better than recorded and the negative not as bad.

The AI that runs the selection algorithms that choose the recommendations you get, Ricky, has taught itself how to analyze and predict what kind of mood you're in right now. Understand this, because you are being actively manipulated by these things if you are on a mobile phone, or on a laptop without good adblockers, are not using VPN, or you use one of the so-called "assistants" like Alexa. People have no idea what's being done to them. This is not done benevolently. The purpose is to make you more tractable - easy to manipulate, so the tech corps can use you to make money, and make you an easier mark from which their advertisers can take your money.

My first impression afther listenig to This Audio book excellent it is very very good incisive thought provoking i found listening to this audio book not boring or differcult to follow but enlightening .Much more involving then NIETZSCHE book BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL Which was FAR more heavy and HARDER to understand of which i found to many complications mixed up notions. I have many books to 📚 to read

Hes book perfectly verbalised the ideas I had brewing in my head for a while, except for the chapter he had on women. These ideas on life and existence were a great contribution to my depression and listening to this made me realise that theses are somewhat natural thoughts for coming of age. Absolutely amazing and profound stuff, except for the women chapter, id personally highly disagree with that segment. But Very thought provoking and well written 👍👍

The first four chapters are the most interesting. His views on women come across as utter contempt for them.

Please don't talk to me about forgiveness so patronisingly, I think I know a bit about it already. FYI: I hate with a passion the type of noxious new-age psychobabble the likes of Louise Hay spouts.

The world is whatever you think it is, because it is a billion things and you MUST choose your interpretation. You cannot evaluate it wholly. When people assert that suffering is the true face of reality, that they peeled and peeled back the layers to find the rotten core they haven't. They've intentional chosen a layer at which to stop peeling, a layer at which to analyse the world and decided THEMSELVES that this suffering analysis is the true analysis. We chose our own interpretation, there is no one answer

@@brickhandle1577 finding pleasure in the pursuit of desires is how you reconcile this and wisely choosing which desires to pursue. Edison didn't just make 100 failed lightbulbs he enjoyed the process tinkering and learning in each attempt. Nihilism like this is like saying there is no point in eating when you will just be hungry again tomorrow... You could instead choose to enjoy the food you have now and possibly even the experience of obtaining and cooking it. It is you that chooses to fixate on the unfulfilled desires you have rather than the things you do. But, indeed, it is human nature to constantly pursue more. The pessimistic trap is the idea that you must fulfill each desire to be fulfilled.. when I think it's often just the pursuit of it that we truly innately crave.
