2026/10/04

In this video we go over an often-asked question. You want to read Kant, but you don't know where to start. We offer a some guidelines. We don't think it's wise to jump into the Critique of Pure Reason without either a broad background in philosophy in general, and without some knowledge of Kant in particular. Which is why we recommend Kant's introductory work to his metaphysics: the Prolegomena. If you can master the Critique of Pure Reason: congratulations! Then the Critique of Practical Reason as

4 Books You MUST Read According to Schopenhauer

Weltgeist ·

2026/10/01

Deep within an essay On the Art of Thinking for Oneself, Schopenhauer has four novels to recommend his readers. Of course, they are each in a different language... He also gives us objective, measurable standards to judge the artistic merit of a novel. Schopenhauer looks at how much a novel deals with the inner life -- the more it deals with the inner life of the protagonist, the more artistic a novel becomes because it's the inner world that excites our interest - not the outer world of

What Schopenhauer Liked (and Disliked) About STOICISM

Weltgeist ·

2026/09/28

The World as Will and Representation, masterpiece of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, doubles as a great introduction to the Stoic philosophy. Both in volume I and in volume II, we are treated to a fair summary of the entire philosophical movement of Stoicism with plenty of (untranslated Latin and Greek) quotes from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and other notable Stoics. Schopenhauer admired the rationality of Stoicism, but ultimately had to discard the system because of one fatal flaw

In The Joyful Science, we can read how Nietzsche admits to having a made a mistake in his interpretation of the German Romantic movement. We learn that he mischaracterized the source from which this movement sprung: both Arthur Schopenhauer and Richard Wagner, seen as exemplars of Romanticism, were misinterpreted by Nietzsche. What was his mistake exactly? It has something to do with Dionysian art, suffering, and the character of philosophical pessimism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
