from R. Zaretsky’s book review

“ Schopenhauer drew a simple maxim: “Do no harm; and help others to the extent you can. ”

“ The further political integration of at least the core of the European Union has never been as vital to our survival as it is today. And never so improbable.”

interesting essay

However, Schopenhauer accused Hegel of distorting politics, religion, and morality to justify the dominance of Prussia

He saw Hegel’s utopian philosophy of right as servant of political power rather than a critique of the nationalism in the 1820s

yes however, it is really more about reading and thinking critically in parallel

thinking critically defined as critique
November 29, 2025 at 6:16 PM
probably so

Though his critique of Hegel’s idealism is far more interesting

not sure that Spinoza would agree with Althusser’s theories on Marxist anti humanism

I can imagine that S had a low opinion of the Young Hegelians too

The “drastically undialectical version of history” mentioned by T. Eagleton in this book seems out of place

Schopenhauer had no time for Marx’s dialectic view of history mainly because Marx admired Hegel

and a very timely book review in this age of AI

perhaps forward the review to David Chalmers at NYU

and a very timely article

perhaps forward it to David Bather woods, his book on Schopenhauer was reviewed in the LRB this week

so that’s probably why he decided to call his dog “Atman”
November 27, 2025 at 12:18 PM
as a nod,,,
November 27, 2025 at 6:59 AM
and let's not forget that Schopenhauer named his dog Atman as not to the Buddhist texts he had in his library
