Podcast appearances and mentions of Arthur Schopenhauer

In this episode, Jerry and Stably discussed Arthur Schopenhauer's On the Suffering of the World. Jerry praised the book as a great introduction to Schopenhauer's philosophy and its insights, particularly the concept of life as a balance between suffering and boredom, while Stan  found the text repetitive and at times impenetrable, disagreeing with the author's premise. They also explored Schopenhauer's core ideas, including the "Will" as an eternal, irrational force and the philosopher's suggested solution of denying the Will through asceticism or art, and they further debated the ethics of procreation and the necessity of preserving consciousness. Stan  then selected "On Photography" by Susan Sontag as the next reading material for discussion.

In Virtue Holds the Shape, we continue our exploration of attachment, turning our attention to the subtle, often unseen forces that shape us in relation to others.Our conversation is anchored in Arthur Schopenhauer's quote: “What warmth is to wax, politeness is to human nature.” We stay with this metaphor as a lens on influence and responsiveness. How do the small gestures of social interaction mold our connections? When does this shaping support and sustain, and when does it begin to constrain or confine?Drawing on personal reflection, we look into attachment through familiar relational roles and invite a partner-based, art-focused exploration. In this practice, you alternate between leading and following, sensing how it feels to guide and to be guided.We reflect on whether our politeness is merely a surface layer—performative, shaped by social expectation—or whether it expresses something deeper, rooted in our values and virtue. Ideally, politeness conveys genuine care and shapes our connections meaningfully. How do you recognize in yourself when politeness is authentic or how does this resonate with you?We invite you to listen and engage with the creative exercise with curiosity and mindful presence.With care,Valentine & RebeccaPhoto credit Ivana Dostálová, Traces of The Unseen, 2025Music credit Andy Gallery@safespaces.art @bellavalentinaart @studio.rb_mindful.artswww.safespaces.artArt Connect Society z.s.Support the show

Ce dimanche, dans IDEES, Pierre-Edouard Deldique reçoit Christian Sommer, l'éditeur de l'œuvre maîtresse du philosophe allemand intitulée : « Le Monde comme volonté et représentation » dans la prestigieuse collection « La Pléiade » chez Gallimard.   Ce livre publié en 1819 est un livre à la fois métaphysique, esthétique, éthique et littéraire, qui propose une vision du monde d'une rare puissance. Notre invité, spécialiste de philosophie, lui rend justice en soulignant à la fois la rigueur conceptuelle et la puissance stylistique d'un texte souvent réduit à tort à son pessimisme. Schopenhauer y développe la thèse suivante : le monde est double. Il est représentation, c'est‑à‑dire phénomène structuré par notre esprit, et il est aussi volonté, une force métaphysique irrationnelle qui anime toute chose. Nous sommes dépendants d'elle. Le philosophe reprend Kant : nous ne connaissons jamais les choses en soi, seulement les phénomènes tels qu'ils apparaissent dans les formes de notre esprit.  Cette thèse permet à Schopenhauer d'affirmer que le sujet est la condition de possibilité du monde. Le réel n'est pas un donné brut : il est une construction. Alors que se cache-t-il derrière la représentation ? La seconde partie de ce livre majeur introduit la notion centrale de volonté. Il ne s'agit pas ici de la volonté consciente ou rationnelle, mais d'une force aveugle, irrésistible, universelle, qui traverse la nature entière. Conséquence: vivre, c'est vouloir ; vouloir, c'est manquer ; manquer, c'est souffrir. La vie oscille entre désir (souffrance) et satisfaction (ennui). D'où la réputation de pessimisme attachée à Schopenhauer. Dans la troisième partie de l'ouvrage, le penseur développe une théorie de l'art. L'art, dit‑il, suspend la volonté. Il nous permet de contempler les choses sans désir, sans intérêt, sans finalité. L'esthétique devient ainsi une voie de salut : l'art nous arrache momentanément à la souffrance du vouloir‑vivre. Enfin, le quatrième livre propose une morale fondée sur la compassion. Si la volonté est universelle, la souffrance l'est aussi. Reconnaître en autrui la même volonté qui nous traverse fonde une éthique de la pitié, proche du bouddhisme, de l'hindouisme. Mais la véritable délivrance, pour Schopenhauer, est plus radicale, elle passe par l'ascèse, la négation progressive du vouloir‑vivre. C'est une voie exigeante, presque mystique, qui vise à éteindre le désir lui‑même. Schopenhauer apparaît alors comme un penseur de la sobriété heureuse et de l'altruisme.

Bekannt wurde Denis Moschitto durch Filme wie Kebab Connection, Süperseks sowie Chiko von Fatih Akin, in dem er die Hauptrolle spielte. Außerdem war er in 1½ Ritter – Auf der Suche nach der hinreißenden Herzelinde zu sehen. Heute ist Denis Moschitto der neue Tatort-Ermittler an der Seite von Wotan Wilke Möhring. Er verkörpert einen IT-affinen Fahnder – einen echten Nerd, der sich in jedes System hineinhacken kann. Warum ihm diese Welt bereits in seiner Jugend vertraut war, erzählt er im Gespräch. Genau wie seine Figur bezeichnet auch er sich selbst als Nerd. Eine seiner großen Leidenschaften gilt der japanischen Sprache. Seit vielen Jahren lernt er intensiv Japanisch und beschäftigt sich mit den Besonderheiten der Sprache. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über spezielle japanische Begriffe, die es ausschließlich dort gibt. Aufgewachsen ist er in einem Kölner Arbeiterviertel. Sein Vater stammt aus Italien, seine Mutter aus der Türkei. Schon früh stand für ihn fest, dass er Schauspieler werden wollte – auch wenn er zwischendurch Philosophie studierte, ein Fach, das ihn bis heute begeistert. Mal sehen, ob Denis es schafft, euch für Arthur Schopenhauer zu gewinnen. Hier geht's zum Podcasttipp der Woche: Barmbek Bump - Prange vs. Rohde https://1.ard.de/barmbekbump?cp

In this podcast we will be talking about how to be a pessimist from the wisdom of Arthur Schopenhauer. He is mostly known for his famous book “The World as Will and Representation”. He is known as the ultimate pessimist and his idea reflects philosophical pessimism. So here are 7 ways you can follow in order to become a pessimist  from the wisdom of Arthur Schopenhauer -  01. Accept your limits 02. Accept that everything changes and decays 03. Learn to see suffering as the best teacher in life 04. Don't be blinded by love 05. Sacrifice pleasure to avoid pain 06. Limit your expectations 07. Find Happiness within yourself I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 7 ways you can follow in order to become a pessimist from the wisdom of Arthur Schopenhauer will add value to your life.   Arthur Schopenhauer was one of the greatest philosophers of all time. He lived from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century in Germany. His most important work was “The World As Will and Representation”. He was one of the most prominent figures of the philosophy of pessimism and the first great Western philosopher who was interested in Buddhism. The best way to understand his teachings is to analyze them through the eyes of the enlightened pessimism prevalent in Buddhist philosophy. Arthur Schopenhauer is known as the ultimate pessimist because he articulates a pessimistic worldview that questions life's meaning. He believed that the universe was fundamentally irrational and human beings are driven by a force called the Will, a basic force in the Universe, never satisfied, and we, the human beings, don't have much self-control to fight it. Schopenhauer argues that the best way to be happy is by ceasing to look for happiness and instead try to remove the unhappiness from our life. This idea reflects philosophical pessimism, which is not a psychological disposition, but rather a worldview. Philosophical pessimism suggests that it is always better to expect the worst in order to receive the best. By using the principles of philosophical pessimism, we can eliminate the irrational hopes and expectations we have in life and thus we can live more peacefully and happily.

Miroslav Volf confronts Schopenhauer's pessimism and unquenchable thirst with a vision of love that affirms the world.“Unquenchable thirst makes for ceaseless pain. This befits our nature as objectification of the ceaseless and aimless will at the heart of reality. ... For Schopenhauer, the pleasure of satisfaction are the lights of fireflies in the night of life's suffering. These four claims taken together make pain the primordial, universal, and unalterable state of human lives.”In the second installment of his 2025 Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf examines the 19th-century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's radical rejection of the world. Through Schopenhauer's metaphysics of blind will and insatiable desire, Volf draws out the philosopher's haunting pessimism and hatred for existence itself. But Schopenhauer's rejection of the world—rooted in disappointed love—is not just a historical curiosity; Volf shows how our modern consumerist cravings mirror Schopenhauer's vision of unquenchable thirst and fleeting satisfaction. In response, Volf offers a theological and philosophical critique grounded in three kinds of love—epithumic (appetitive), erotic (appreciative), and agapic (self-giving)—arguing that agape love must be central in our relationship to the world. “Everything is a means, but nothing satisfies,” Volf warns, unless we reorder our loves. This second lecture challenges listeners to reconsider what it means to live in and love a world full of suffering—without abandoning its goodness.Episode Highlights“Unquenchable thirst makes for ceaseless pain. This befits our nature as objectification of the ceaseless and aimless will at the heart of reality.”“Whether we love ice cream or sex or God, we are often merely seeking to slake our thirst.”“If we long for what we have, what we have never ceases to satisfy.”“A better version is available—for whatever reason, it is not good enough. And we discard it. This is micro-rejection of the world.”“Those who love agape refuse to act as if they were the midpoint of their world.”Helpful Links and ResourcesThe World as Will and Representation by Arthur SchopenhauerParadiso by Dante AlighieriVictor Hugo's Les MisérablesA Brief for the Defense by Jack GilbertShow NotesSchopenhauer's pessimism as rooted in disappointed love of the worldGod's declaration in Genesis—“very good”—contrasted with Schopenhauer's “nothing is good”Job's suffering as a theological counterpoint to Schopenhauer's metaphysical despairHuman desire framed as unquenchable thirst: pain, boredom, and fleeting satisfactionSchopenhauer's diagnosis: we swing endlessly between pain and boredomThree kinds of love introduced: epithumic (appetite), erotic (appreciation), agapic (affirmation)Schopenhauer's exclusive emphasis on appetite—no place for appreciation or unconditional loveModern consumer culture mirrors Schopenhauer's account: desiring to desire, never satisfiedFast fashion, disposability, and market-induced obsolescence as symptoms of world-negation“We long for what we have” vs. “we discard the world”Luther's critique: “suck God's blood”—epithumic relation to GodAgape love: affirming the other, even when undeserving or diminishedErotic love: savoring the intrinsic worth of things, not just their utilityThe fleetingness of joy and comparison's corrosion of valueModern desire as invasive, subliminally shaped by market competitionDenigration of what is in favor of what could be—a pathology of dissatisfactionConsumerism as massive “micro-rejection” of the worldVolf's call to reorder our loves toward appreciation and unconditional affirmationTheology and metaphysics reframe suffering not as a reason to curse the world, but to love it betterPreview of next lecture: Nietzsche, joy, and the affirmation of all existenceProduction NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

Eventually I copied the fledgeling collection onto 3×5 cards and put them in a small box. As I find new ones, I add cards. Today, there are more than 1,500 quotes and the collection continues to grow. Hello

Sign up for our Substack! Arthur Schopenhauer said, “Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.” Thomas Edison famously claimed, “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” Helen Lewis has a different take entirely. To her, the term genius licenses noxious eccentricities, exasperating ego trips, and downright bad behavior. Sure, plenty of things qualify as acts of genius — Shakespeare's sonnets, penicillin — but when we pin the genius badge on a person instead of an achievement, we grant them membership in a supposedly superior class. That, Helen says, is the genius myth. She wants to demolish it and, in its place, tell the real story of how breakthroughs happen and who deserves credit.

Make room for art  I hope you enjoyed listening to the podcast and hope these 7 life lessons from Arthur Schopenhauer will add value to your life.   Arthur Schopenhauer is considered to be one of the greatest philosophers of all time. He lived from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century and while he is often described as a genius philosopher, he has also been given less flattering monikers such as The Sad Prince of pessimism and The Messenger of Misery, due to his particularly unique philosophical views . He influenced the work of many great thinkers after him, from philosophers to psychologists to physicists. Arthur Schopenhauer's work is part of the philosophy of pessimism and Schopenhauer is mostly known for his famous book “The World as Will and Representation”, in which he describes the physical world as the manifestation of an invisible force, a metaphysical will. Schopenhauer's philosophy is based on the idea that the world we perceive is not the real world, we see reality through our own personal filters, which Indian philosophy calls "the veils of Maya" that prevent us from seeing “actual reality”. Schopenhauer is one of the philosophers who pondered the most on subjects such as loneliness, solitude, boredom and what true happiness means.

My guest on the show today is Chris Cillizza. You may know from his many years writing for the Washington Post, his many years on-air for CNN, or his recent third act on Substack, but I know Chris from way back when, as a friend and classmate in the Loomis Chaffee class of 1994. We didn't stay in close touch after we graduated, but we've stayed friendly and have crossed paths occasionally in the 30 years since. When Chris agreed to do this, I'd intended to focus on his long and successful career in journalism, concluding with a discussion of his unexpected lay-off from CNN, in 2022, and his subsequent re-invention on Substack. We do some of that, but the overall vibe is less professional than it is mid-life existential. We talk about the arcs of our lives over the last few decades — how we've balanced ambition and responsibility, what we're thinking about now that life has beaten the shit out of us a fair amount and we have a little bit of wisdom about things, and what comes next.To give you a taste, here's a lightly edited passage from the conversation where Chris and I are talking about how ambition sometimes got the better of him when he was working at CNN:Cillizza: There's this great quote from a German philosopher [Arthur Schopenhauer] that I think about all the time: “Wealth is like sea water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become. And the same is true of fame.”So when I got to CNN from the Post, I was bigger than before. More people knew me. More people read me. I made more money. And you know what I spent most of my time thinking? ‘Why am I not anchoring? Why am I not on the 7:00 to 11:00 PM election night coverage? Why am I on the midnight to 4:00 AM election coverage?' Oppenheimer: Do you worry about falling back into that? Up until three years ago, you were on that train and were being driven by those incentives. Then you had this massive shock to the system. Since then you've done a lot of introspection. You've grown. But look, you're a talented guy. You're still a hardworking guy. You could go back up again, right? That could happen, whether it's growing to 5 million subscribers on Substack and you're making a shit ton of money, or CNN calls, or MSNBC calls, or the next Democratic administration calls and says, ‘Hey, we need a press secretary.'It's not implausible that you could be back up, or even get to greater levels of fame and influence. Do you worry that you could get sucked back into it? Do you feel like you have enough guardrails in place or you've done enough introspection? I just think about it with you because while the sudden epiphany is great, it can also be very evanescent, right?Cillizza: Totally, and certainly in the first 18 months after CNN laid me off, if NBC had called and been like, ‘Hey, you wanna come work here?' I would have said, 'Absolutely.' The reason that I am on this path now is partly because I chose it, but also partly because no one else asked.So I don't think it's likely that someone will ask, but yes, of course, if you've gone down a road before, it makes it more likely that you'll go down it again.I think two things are true. One is that it's almost impossible that one of those places would call and say, ‘Chris, we want you back.' And I think it is equally unlikely that I would say yes, for a number of reasons. The first is that this is where I've been most my true self. It's a better space to be in. But also it is unlikely they would pay me enough to make it worth it.I think you always have to be mindful of it, and yes I have put guardrails in place, but you hit a guardrail hard enough and it breaks. It's not a guarantor.Oppenheimer: So maybe it's not a news network. What if it's this scenario? What if you write a memoir? You write a memoir about your midlife crisis, and most books don't do much of anything, but let's say it hits. Your book is a bestseller. It's not a Tuesdays with Morrie bestseller, but it's a solid bestseller. You're already on the speaking circuit, but its success vaults you up to the next level of the speaking circuit.Now there's more that you're being asked to do than you can do while also maintaining a healthy life and spending enough time with your wife and kids and working on yourself to make more close friends. That's a plausible trajectory. Maybe it won't happen, but it's plausible. And so you would have to be very strong to be able to say, ‘You are offering me $50,000 to go for the weekend to give this talk, and I just can't. I can't do it. My son has a baseball game.'It's a really good, wide-ranging conversation. You should listen. Get full access to Eminent Americans at danieloppenheimer.substack.com/subscribe

Imaginez une nuit glaciale. Deux hérissons cherchent à se rapprocher pour se réchauffer. Mais dès qu'ils s'approchent trop, leurs piquants les blessent. Ils s'éloignent, puis tentent à nouveau de se rapprocher, sans jamais trouver la distance idéale. Cette métaphore, formulée par le philosophe Arthur Schopenhauer au XIXe siècle, illustre le paradoxe des relations humaines : notre besoin de proximité se heurte à la peur de la souffrance que cette proximité peut engendrer.Sigmund Freud a repris cette image pour décrire la complexité des relations humaines. Plus nous nous rapprochons des autres, plus nous devenons vulnérables. Cette vulnérabilité peut entraîner des blessures émotionnelles, des conflits ou des rejets. Pour se protéger, certains choisissent de s'isoler, évitant ainsi le risque de souffrir, mais se privant également de la chaleur des relations humaines.Une étude menée par Jon Maner et ses collègues en 2007, publiée dans le Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, a exploré ce phénomène. Les chercheurs ont découvert que les personnes ayant vécu une exclusion sociale étaient plus enclines à rechercher de nouveaux liens sociaux. Cela suggère que, malgré la peur de la blessure, le besoin de connexion reste fondamental.Cependant, cette recherche de lien peut être entravée par des mécanismes de défense. Par exemple, une personne ayant été blessée dans le passé peut éviter de s'engager à nouveau, par crainte de revivre la même douleur. Ce comportement, bien que protecteur à court terme, peut conduire à une solitude prolongée et à un isolement émotionnel.Le dilemme du hérisson nous rappelle que l'intimité comporte des risques, mais que l'isolement n'est pas une solution durable. Trouver un équilibre entre proximité et protection est essentiel. Cela implique de développer une communication ouverte, de poser des limites saines et de cultiver la confiance en soi et en l'autre.En somme, le dilemme du hérisson illustre la tension entre notre désir de connexion et notre peur de la souffrance. Reconnaître cette tension et apprendre à naviguer entre ces deux pôles peut nous aider à construire des relations plus épanouissantes et authentiques. Hébergé par Acast.

Xây dựng trên nền tảng triết học duy tâm siêu nghiệm của Immanuel Kant, ông đã phát triển một hệ thống luân lý và siêu hình vô thần bác bỏ những ý tưởng thời thượng lúc bấy giờ của trào lưu duy tâm Đức. Schopenhauer là một trong những trí thức phương Tây thế hệ đầu chia sẻ nhiều tư tưởng chung với triết học Ấn Độ, chẳng hạn như sự khổ tu, sự chối bỏ bản thân, và ý niệm cho rằng thế giới là sự phô chiếu ảo ảnh. Lý thuyết siêu hình của ông chính là nền tảng cho các tác phẩm về đề tài tâm lý học, mỹ học, đạo đức học và chính trị học, Phật học... những tác phẩm đã để lại tầm ảnh hưởng tới các danh nhân sau này như Friedrich Nietzsche, Wagner, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sigmund Freud và nhiều người khác. Sách nói Những Nhà Tư Tưởng Lớn - Schopenhauer Trong 60 Phút sẽ cung cấp cho bạn những thông tin ngắn gọn và dễ hiểu nhất về Schopenhauer cùng tư tưởng triết học của ông.--Tìm hiểu thêm về Fonos: https://fonos.vn/Theo dõi Facebook Fonos: https://www.facebook.com/fonosvietnam/

"You are not an evil human. You are not without intellect and education. You have everything that could make you a credit to human society. Moreover, I am acquainted with your heart and know that few are better, but you are nevertheless irritating and unbearable and I consider it most difficult to live with you. All of your good qualities become obscured by your super cleverness and are made useless to the world merely because of your rage at wanting to know everything better than others; of wanting to improve and master what you cannot command. With this you embitter the people around you, since no one wants to be improved or enlightened in such a forceful way, least of all by such an insignificant individual as you still are; no one can tolerate being reproved by you, who also still show so many weaknesses yourself, least of all in your adverse manner, which in oracular tones, proclaims this so and so, without ever supposing an objection. If you were less like you, you would only be ridiculous, but thus as you are are, you are highly annoying." - Arthur Schopenhauer's mother, Johanna, in a letter to him dated November 6, 1807.On a very special of The Culture Matters Podcast, we are once again discussing Jay's book, Thirty Days of Thought, and, more specifically, the section titled "Frustrated".  This discussion is going to be a little different because we have invited some of our favorite frequent guests to discuss it with us.  Andrew Berman, Paul Lucido, Demetrios Stakias, Nathan Merrill, and Chris Vester are all here to dig into this section and get to the bottom of frustration.  This discussion covers some of the causes of frustration in ourselves as well as with others, communicating clearly, and making sure that you have a good foundation so that when the frustration does come (and it will), you have something solid to stand on.  This is a big conversation with some big personalities and we hope you you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

In this episode, a perfectionist's quest for the perfect checklist leads to an unexpected business acquisition. Barry explains how his journey from "maybe I should get my pilot certificate" turned into owning Checkmate Aviation after his DIY checklist started peeling apart. Between Ben's tales of impressing passengers with instrument approaches and Brian's near-purchase of a globe-trotting Swift, the crew dives into the art of flows versus checklists, and joke about creating a "midlife version" with extra-large text.

Bruno Nacci"L'eredità"Guy de MaupassantCarbonio Editorewww.carbonioeditore.itNella Parigi della Belle Époque, César Cachelin, impiegato del Ministero della Marina, combina un matrimonio tra la figlia Cora e uno dei suoi colleghi più promettenti e ambiziosi, Léopold Lesable, pregustando l'ingente eredità che la sua ricca sorella Charlotte ha destinato alla giovane nipote. Ma alla morte dell'anziana zitella, con grande sgomento i Cachelin scoprono che Charlotte ha imposto una condizione nel testamento: se entro tre anni dal suo decesso Léopold e Cora non avranno figli, il denaro – un milione netto! – andrà tutto in beneficenza. Da quel momento, la famiglia si prodiga in ogni modo perché nasca un bambino, in una spietata partita a scacchi che svela il sottobosco di ipocrisie e meschinità che si cela sotto la superficie delle buone maniere.Guy de Maupassant, attraverso il suo implacabile scetticismo, si diverte a lacerare le apparenze per smascherare le intenzioni e a scoprire la sorgente inquinata dell'animo umano, consegnandoci un capolavoro di sottile e grottesca arte narrativa. Apparsa nel 1884, prima in rivista e poi nella raccolta Miss Harriet, questa preziosa novella era preceduta da una sua versione molto più breve, intitolata Un milione, che qui riproponiamo.Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) è tra i maggiori scrittori francesi della seconda metà dell'Ottocento. Crebbe alla scuola di Gustave Flaubert, che venerò come maestro e mentore. Pubblicò quasi trecento tra racconti e novelle, e sei romanzi, tra cui ricordiamo Una vita (1883), Bel-Ami (1885), Pierre e Jean (1888). Le sue opere, improntate a un pessimismo radicale che solo in parte può essere ricondotto alla grande lezione del realismo e del naturalismo europei, sono più vicine al pensiero di Giacomo Leopardi e Arthur Schopenhauer che a Gustave Flaubert o Émile Zola, e aprono la strada alla narrativa americana del Novecento e perfino, nelle ultime prove, anche a quella di Marcel Proust.Bruno Nacci ha curato classici della letteratura francese, da Chamfort a Nerval, in particolare Blaise Pascal, su cui ha scritto La quarta vigilia. Gli ultimi anni di Blaise Pascal (2014). È autore del noir L'assassinio della Signora di Praslin (2000); insieme a Laura Bosio ha scritto i romanzi storici Per seguire la mia stella (2017), La casa degli uccelli (2020) e il saggio Da un'altra Italia (2014). Ha pubblicato anche diverse raccolte di racconti, e per Carbonio ha già tradotto e curato, di Gustave Flaubert, La tentazione di sant'Antonio (2023).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

"What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; it is not so much the opinion itself, but the audacity of wanting to think for themselves, something that they do not know how to do." — Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) Throughout the world, mental capacity is declining, especially among young people, while depression rates are rising dramatically. Meanwhile, one in forty men and women suffers from Alzheimer's, and the age of onset is falling rapidly. But the causes are not being eliminated, quite the opposite. Can this just be coincidence? The Indoctrinated Brain - How to Defend Your Mental Freedom with Michael Nehls, MD, PhD Nehls, a medical doctor and internationally renowned molecular geneticist, lays out a shattering chain of circumstantial evidence in his book "" indicating that behind these numerous negative influences lies a targeted, masterfully executed attack on our individuality. He points out how the raging wars against viruses, about climate change, or over national borders are—more likely intended than not—fundamentally providing the platform for such an offensive against the human brain that is steadily changing our being and is aimed at depriving us of our ability to think for ourselves. As a basic researcher, he deciphered the genetic causes of dozens of hereditary diseases at German and international research institutions. Two of his discoveries were published in collaboration with two Nobel Prize winners. Another discovery of a key gene in immunity development was honored by the renowned American Association of Immunologists as a "Pillar of Immunology." For his pioneering findings on Alzheimer's disease development, prevention, and therapy, he was awarded the Hanse Prize for Molecular Psychiatry by the Rostock University Hospital. Dr. Nehls was vice president of genome research at a US company for three years and chief scientific officer and CEO of a Munich-based biotechnology company for eight years. A scientific author talented in making complex topics understandable to a wide audience, he has written several bestsellers that have been translated into many languages. As a private lecturer, he delivers lectures at congresses and universities, attracting wide audiences.

Le "dilemme du hérisson," proposé par le philosophe Arthur Schopenhauer, illustre parfaitement le paradoxe des relations humaines, et pourquoi elles peuvent souvent nous pousser à la solitude. Dans son ouvrage Parerga und Paralipomena, publié en 1851, qui est un recueil d'essais et de réflexions philosophiques, le dilemme apparaît dans la deuxième partie, intitulée Paralipomena. C'est un texte relativement bref, mais il résume bien la vision pessimiste de Schopenhauer sur les relations humaines et la nature de la proximité. Plus précisément, Schopenhauer décrit une scène où des hérissons, par une froide journée d'hiver, tentent de se rapprocher les uns des autres pour se réchauffer. Mais, plus ils s'approchent, plus ils se piquent avec leurs épines, les obligeant à se tenir à une distance inconfortable. Cette métaphore illustre les défis de l'intimité humaine : nous désirons tous la connexion et la chaleur de la proximité, mais cette intimité peut aussi engendrer des blessures. Dans les relations humaines, les "épines" représentent les aspects de notre personnalité, nos défauts, nos insécurités, et nos différences, qui rendent parfois la proximité inconfortable, voire douloureuse. Quand nous nous rapprochons trop, nous risquons de nous blesser mutuellement. Cela peut se traduire par des disputes, des malentendus, ou des tensions. Face à ce constat, certains choisissent d'éviter cette douleur en se tenant à distance, ou même en choisissant la solitude. Schopenhauer voyait cette solitude comme une conséquence inévitable de notre nature humaine. Pour lui, la plupart des gens préfèrent garder une certaine distance émotionnelle pour se protéger, même si cela les empêche d'atteindre une intimité véritable. En choisissant la solitude, on évite la souffrance, mais on renonce aussi à une partie de ce qui rend la vie humaine si riche. En psychologie moderne, ce dilemme est souvent relié au concept d'attachement et à la peur de la vulnérabilité. Certaines personnes préfèrent être seules par peur d'être rejetées ou blessées. Pour Schopenhauer, cette tendance humaine était inévitable et révélait notre condition d'individu profondément marqué par l'isolement. Même dans un monde social, le dilemme du hérisson nous rappelle que la vraie intimité est rare et difficile à maintenir. Ainsi, ce dilemme ne nous pousse pas nécessairement à la solitude par choix, mais par protection. En fin de compte, le dilemme du hérisson de Schopenhauer nous enseigne que la solitude n'est pas simplement un choix personnel, mais un compromis entre le désir de connexion et la peur de la douleur. Cela éclaire pourquoi, pour beaucoup, la solitude reste une option plus simple et moins risquée que la proximité. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Dans les relations humaines, les "épines" représentent les aspects de notre personnalité, nos défauts, nos insécurités, et nos différences, qui rendent parfois la proximité inconfortable, voire douloureuse. Quand nous nous rapprochons trop, nous risquons de nous blesser mutuellement. Cela peut se traduire par des disputes, des malentendus, ou des tensions. Face à ce constat, certains choisissent d'éviter cette douleur en se tenant à distance, ou même en choisissant la solitude. Schopenhauer voyait cette solitude comme une conséquence inévitable de notre nature humaine. Pour lui, la plupart des gens préfèrent garder une certaine distance émotionnelle pour se protéger, même si cela les empêche d'atteindre une intimité véritable. En choisissant la solitude, on évite la souffrance, mais on renonce aussi à une partie de ce qui rend la vie humaine si riche. En psychologie moderne, ce dilemme est souvent relié au concept d'attachement et à la peur de la vulnérabilité. Certaines personnes préfèrent être seules par peur d'être rejetées ou blessées. Pour Schopenhauer, cette tendance humaine était inévitable et révélait notre condition d'individu profondément marqué par l'isolement. Même dans un monde social, le dilemme du hérisson nous rappelle que la vraie intimité est rare et difficile à maintenir. Ainsi, ce dilemme ne nous pousse pas nécessairement à la solitude par choix, mais par protection. En fin de compte, le dilemme du hérisson de Schopenhauer nous enseigne que la solitude n'est pas simplement un choix personnel, mais un compromis entre le désir de connexion et la peur de la douleur. Cela éclaire pourquoi, pour beaucoup, la solitude reste une option plus simple et moins risquée que la proximité. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Quase ninguém fala, conversa ou discute sobre a honra hoje em dia. Já sobre a fama, certamente há muito o que dizer. Nesse episódio, misturo Arthur Schopenhauer e Pierre Bourdieu em uma conversa sobre honra, fama e capital social.

Arthur Schopenhauer said "if you come across any special trait of meanness or stupidity...you must be careful not to let it annoy or distress you , but look upon it merely as an addition to your knowledge-- a new fact to be considered in studying the character of Humanity. Your attitude towards it will be that of a mineralogist who stumbles upon a very characteristic specimen of a mineral. This quote spoke to me specifically this week. Keep your heads up, coaches.

Para filósofo alemão Arthur Schopenhauer, 'desejo incessante de viver' não é algo que podemos controlar, mas que nos escraviza — uma exigência infinita que nunca é satisfeita.

Schriftstellerin, Dichterin, Meisterin des Scherenschnitts: Adele Schopenhauer ist weit mehr als die Schwester des berühmten Philosophen. Am 25.8.1849 stirbt sie in Bonn. Von Doris Arp.

Auteur d'une magistrale œuvre philosophique, Arthur Schopenhauer est surtout connu du grand public pour son livre "L'Art d'avoir toujours raison", un petit ouvrage qui traite de l'art de la controverse et de la dispute intellectuelle. Mais au-delà de la dimension sarcastique de cet ouvrage, que nous révèle notre besoin d'avoir toujours raison ?

I have to put in context, and Arthur Schopenhauer observed that all truth passes through three levels. First, it's ridicule, second, it's violently opposed, third, it's accepted as being self -evident. Such a truth has emerged in our lifetime. It informs us that we exist as a tiny fragment of an immensely larger interlocking pole, which all the parts are interconnected and depend upon each other for survival. Simply put, everything's connected to everything else. We exist not separately, but in communion with all other living things. Life's an interrelated, interdependent phenomenon. Everything's in relationship. It's the nature of universe, it's the nature of the reality in which we exist. Like it or not, reality has behavioral demands. That is, if you want to stick around, if you want to live, if you want to continue on the journey, those behavioral demands can be summarized in seven words. Be healthy, be kind, respect the environment. Each one of us is like a cell in the body of humanity. The health of all of us taken together in terms of the health of humanity and the health of our civilization." On Updating Beliefs "The question is, how do we reduce ignorance and suffering, expand knowledge and justice? Einstein observed that we can't solve our problems from the same level of thinking which they originated.So it begs the question, what level of thinking are we at?

As a horror movie, John Carpenter's The Thing seems to have it all: amazing practical effects, body horror, psychological drama, Kurt Russell ... Indeed, there is only one element this movie lacks, and that is anything at all corresponding to the titular villain. There is no thing in The Thing! What we have instead is a process, a pattern, a way for which the term "thing" is as good as any other. (What is a thing anyway?) In this episode, Phil and JF, having decided that Carpenter's film qualifies as a Christmas movie because there is snow (and a dog) in it, explore the metaphysical implications of a cult classic.

Sean Illing talks with Clancy Martin, professor of philosophy at University of Missouri Kansas City, about his powerful new book How Not to Kill Yourself, which combines personal memoir and philosophical analysis to explore what it means to pursue self-destruction. They discuss wisdom from the Buddha and Albert Camus, Clancy's view that he is a suicide "addict," and concrete strategies for escaping the grip of suicidal thoughts. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, the suicide and crisis lifeline can be reached by dialing 988.
