Schopenhauer: Atheist, Idealist, Visionary

"Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first it is ridiculed, in the second it is opposed, in the third it is regarded as self-evident" - Schopenhauer

This mere 10-minute video attempts to outline Schopenhauer's philosophy, it does not attempt to prove it. I had to omit many aspects in order to meet the 10-minute limit.

Absolutely FANTASTIC video. A great summary of Kant's Transcendental Idealism and a summary of Schopenhauer too.

Ive never read him, but I have read Nietzsche and Kant and its really interesting to see he appears to be a halfway point between the two.

@SecularNumanist

Thanks - he really is the middle man!

This Video is just amazing. Music, graphics, pronunciation... It's just EPIC! I will recommend this Video to my subscribers. If you could send me the manuscript, I will make a translation into German. Cause this is maybe the best summary on Schopenhauer I've ever seen.

@ReconquistaGermany

Thank you - much appreciated.

Your first few videos were exhilerating to watch but not that informative. I must congratulate you on combining your conventional style with a teacher's mien. It is both the information in the video and the dark music and images that make it so entertaining.

Thank you.

Nice voice....

@threeofwands

Unfortunately pronouncing it that way sounds a little too similar to a certain english word.

[threeofwands]

I'm fairly certain that in German Kant is pronounced "K-aunt", not "K-ant".

Since I enjoy Inmendham's vids I tried to watch your meta-ethics vid in order to leave a few comments, but could not get through the blackboard screeching audio loop.

"The notion of consciousness without a brain is as non-sensical as the notion of digestion without a stomach". Got to love Schopenhauer.

@ikorodu0807 You name sounds like a place in Lagos. Is this a coincidence or that is what you meant.

@ikorodu0807

Have you found the Schopenhauer manuscript you are looking for. If not, send me a private message and I can send you the pdf. You will enjoy the collection of his works especially if you are realist.

[GreyZone7]

Great Vid. Strong emphasis on Solipsism though, Schopenhauer never doubted the reality of others' 'Will' like a Solipsist would doubt the existance of other's Minds.

[Steelfossil]

Schopenhauer inspire me.

[ikorodu0807]

I'm another person who enjoyed the video, and would like to know where to find the manuscript?

[LostRituals]

I bet Schopenhauer would have commented on the noise... But I still like your vide, thanks :)
