pickI knew nothing about Schopenhauer going in, and if asked I would probably have guessed that he was a composer. I didn't really understand the explanation about Schopenhauer's theory of the Will as the meaning seemed to slip and slide about and just as I thought I was beginning to understand it the concept changed. I don't know who was at fault, me, the author, or Schopenhauer.
Tamra All I know about him is a reference my husband uses with the kids to explain their desires are a void that won‘t be filled with whatever they are pining for at the moment. We just say “Schopenhauer”, but my daughter then counters with the fact she‘ll enjoy the experience of wanting & getting this (fill in blank) thing and will also enjoy the next & ad infinitum. Hard to argue with that. 😏 1w
