wow a dismissal of pessimism by a philosopher indulging in equivocations and assumptions about the value of existence, never seen that before.

"the natural response to such a philosophy is a medical diagnosis" is a 180 one liner though, admit it.

it's true, optimism seems to be the default condition of the blood so pessimists are just written off as not sound of mind. the entire psychiatric and pharmaceutical industry was built on this assumption. but "thinkers" like Durant will always be third rate compared to guys like Schopenhauer because they aren't willing to analyze the problem of consciousness that leads to such a problem in the first place.

i dont necessarily disagree with you if youre saying that schopenhauer contributed more than durant. but i think durant's main point is hard to argue with - that reducing the material to the "will" ie thinking/feeling, will always be inferior to the practicality of living life in the material world. i guess schopenhauer paid the price of misery for his scholarship, but there's nothing practical about his philosophy

well philosophy is supposed to be about "truth", not practicality. Schopenhauer was unencumbered by the cringing deference towards social utility that straightjackets most professional "philosophers" today.

Yes, the Revolution was dead; and with it the life seemed to have gone out of the soul of Europe. That new heaven, called Utopia, whose glamour had relieved the twilight of the gods, had receded into a dim future where only young eyes could see it; the older ones had followed that lure long enough, and turned away from it now as a mockery of men's hopes. Only the young can live in the future, and only the old can live in the past; men were most of them forced to live in the present, and the present was a ruin.

... bros i think we're done here.
