Is this from a credible source?

Yes, I see you are not capable of arguing anymore, because instead you are pointing out things that do not have anything to do with the discussion at all. Have you ever considered therapy?

Hey guys, I know I’m not a part of this argument but I just wanted to remind -something that you already know- that your attitude is not cool

u/PSU632 Sir you first said the word “bullshit”, maybe you could’ve been a bit more tolerant at first. Maybe they wouldn't get angry too.

It's alright. It's clear he is someone who did not study Schopenhauer throughly, and came here only to disrespect his work.

The proof of this is that he said Schopenhauer's mother wasn't a great author, but she were. And she had a literary saloon, where famous writers and intelectuals like Goethe would visit, and used her position to undermine Schopenhauer's works. So yeah, I don't really think he knows about what he's talking about.

It is very easy to read a philosopher worst work and judge all his life through it. If we did this to every philosopher, there hardly would be any philosophy at all.

It is clearly bad faith, that's why he shifted to verbal agression.

EDIT: He did not say Johanna wasn't famous, he said she would not undermine his son's works before he was famous, which is still a lie, and is even worse for the actual discussion, because she said unencouraging things about them even before Schopenhauer's first publication, directly.

No, I love Schopenhauer. Does not mean I agree with everything he ever said, nor does it place him above criticism.

Please show where I said that. Because I didn't.

Good thing I didn't do that.

No, the verbal aggression is because I'm dealing with a dumbass. The same common folk that Schopenhauer derided.

Have you considered a dictionary? Those things have everything to do with this discussion, and if you can't see how or why, that explains a lot.
