Schopenhauer’s Philosophy for a Timelessly Wise Life |Navigating Youth to Avoid Regrets in Old Age|

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) was a German philosopher renowned for his profound and often pessimistic view of human existence. His central work, "The World as Will and Representation," posits that the fundamental reality of the world is an irrational and blind force he termed the "Will." Schopenhauer argued that human suffering is rooted in our endless desires and that true solace can be found through aesthetic experience, compassion, and asceticism. His ideas were influential in shaping existentialism and had a significant impact on later thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud. Schopenhauer's exploration of the nature of reality, desire, and suffering continues to be a compelling subject of philosophical inquiry. #lifeslesson #philosophy #asceticism #quotes #arthurschopenhauer
