A story of pessimism, truth, and the search for peace
Schopenhauer, to me, stands as a portrait of the modern soul.
Torn between a longing for the transcendent and the grip of blind desire.
His philosophy paints humans as microcosms driven by will, echoing the fallen world of Genesis.
Beauty offers a fleeting redemption, especially music, which he saw as the pure voice of the world’s essence.
In this way, art becomes a kind of sacrament, a shadow of paradise in the midst of suffering.
Symbolically, he embodies both the despair of a world lost in multiplicity and the fragile hope that glimpses of truth can still pierce the veil.
Following these glimpses might lead us back to Eden - Schopenhauer lacked the optimism to follow them.
Schopenhauer’s ideas are very closely aligned with Buddhist philosophy. It is very evident that he studied Buddhism and incorporated its teachings into his writings.
