Description

A philosophy podcast intended for a general educated audience with no specific background in the subject. Listeners will pick up on a consistent theme of skepticism throughout the entirety of the podcast. As impressive as our species is, we actually do not know much in the way of answers to substantial philosophical questions. While some may see this as a reason for despair, I want to explore whether there are benefits to — or at least interesting consequences of — conceiving of both the human situation and existence itself as fundamentally mysterious.

We explore Schopenhauer's pessimism as a philosophical position and ask the question: can Schopenhauer ground his pessimism in the nature of reality?
The first in a mini-series on what Nietzsche called "Life-Denying Philosophies," in this episode we consider the thoroughly pessimistic philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer. Is his thoroughgoing pessimism and life-denying perspective... wisdom or sickness (or something else)?Works Referenced in this Episode:Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and RepresentationĀcārāṅga Sūtra, translated by Hermann Jacobi, Jaina Sutras, 1884Herman Hesse, SiddharthaWWW.GODSWILLBEGODS.COM
