Serious post

Try to convince me that anything after Schopenhauer or Nietzsche isn't dick riding Hegel and beating the dead horse, which is life's meaningless.

Also Cioran is the only thing worth reading, rest is just screeching around terminologies

Schopenhauer is secondary source for jung

>Schopenhauer
Whiny faggot manlet, pseudo-philosophy stolen from badly understood Upanishads and Buddhism.
>Cioran
Whiny faggot manlet coward, too afraid to either live life to the fullest or kill himself.

Give me one concept after schopenhauer that reintroduces life's meaningfulness

Of course you won't, Just because Hegel gets shilled doesn't mean he is essential, Schopenhauer was significantly impactful and changed the world

It is characteristic of the modern mentality that, even when it believes itself to be rising above the contingency of empirical multiplicity, it nevertheless remains imprisoned within the very limitations it claims to transcend. Schopenhauer’s metaphysics provides a particularly clear example. In his attempt to penetrate to the principial order, he mistakes a merely psychological or existential datum—the “will” as he conceives it—for the metaphysical Absolute. Instead of discerning the supra-individual Essence that precedes and governs all manifestation, he elevates an infra-intellectual impulse, essentially blind and indeterminate, to the dignity of first principle. Such a reversal is typical of the modern deviation: the lower is substituted for the higher, the conditioned for the unconditioned, and the subjective for the universal.

Furthermore, Schopenhauer’s doctrine remains fundamentally dualistic, although he supposes himself to have overcome the duality between representation and the noumenal will. In truth, his “noumenon” is no noumenon at all; it is only the sublimation of an empirical psychological fact that has been projected beyond its proper domain. The very possibility of transcending phenomenal existence is then conceived negatively, as a kind of extinction or annulment of the will, because the metaphysical principle itself has already been defined in terms of limitation and privation. If one begins with a deficient concept of the Absolute, one can reach only a deficient account of deliverance. Hence the pessimistic undertone that pervades his system is not the mark of a profound insight into the nature of existence, but rather the inevitable consequence of departing from the integral doctrines of traditional metaphysics, in which Being is never reduced to the mere shadow cast by human suffering or existential restlessness.

In sum, Schopenhauer illustrates how the modern mind, lacking initiation into any authentic doctrine, cannot help but confuse the psychic with the spiritual, the individual with the universal, and the contingent with the principial. What results is not metaphysics but only a philosophy of temperament—ingenious, perhaps, but wholly inadequate as a pathway toward the transcendent. Such is the fate of any system that seeks the Absolute while remaining bound to the categories, limitations, and negations proper to the human mental order alone.

I have a fondness for Schopenhauer but it doesn't mean that Nietzsche was wrong. Nietzsche is generally right (Spinoza was a bad turn), but where Schopenhauer strays from Spinoza is where he's most interesting, his work on Kant being largely correction. A lot of Schopenhauer is viable and novel and sincere, to the point Nietzsche's main criticism is his propagation of the lowest form of God

Isn't that the point of philosophy ? Atleast he dissects it and rids us of life's concepts

Also that's already covered in Nietzsche's Twilight of Idols

I thought it reads like Guenon. Or someone who read Guenon themselves. It's his vocabulary. No idea which of his books though.

True. There is something irreducible between him and Kant. Schopenhauer's greatness as a philosopher is insurmountable.
