Eksik Olan'ın bu bölümünde Say yayınlarından çıkan Alain de Botton'un Felsefenin Tesellisi kitabının ikinci kısmı ele alınıyor. Ömer Çeşit ve Alp Kozanoğlu, Montaigne, Schopenhauer ve Nietzsche üzerinden mutluluk, hayatın anlamı, kırık kalp acısı ve teselli kavramını tartışıyor. Filozoflar, insanın bedeninin ve bilinçdışının etkisi altında olduğunu; mutluluğun ve kontrolün bizde olduğu fikrinin çoğu zaman yanıltıcı olduğunu söylüyor. Hayatta kesin olan belki de tek şey: teselli. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hoy en Crónicas Lunares me complace presentar una biografía exhaustiva de Carl Friedrich Georg Spitteler (1845-1924), el poeta suizo galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1919. Spitteler representa un pilar de la literatura germanófona suiza, caracterizado por su visión mítica, su pesimismo heroico y su fusión de elementos filosóficos inspirados en pensadores como Schopenhauer y Nietzsche. Su vida, marcada por la búsqueda de independencia creativa, refleja las tensiones entre el deber social y la vocación artística en el contexto histórico de la Suiza neutral del siglo XIX y principios del XX."Crónicas Lunares di Sun" es un podcast cultural presentado por Irving Sun, que abarca una variedad de temas, desde la literatura y análisis de libros hasta discusiones sobre actualidad y personajes históricos.

Många har grubblat över existensens själva existens. Helena Granström ansluter sig skaran. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Om man ska tro filosofen Arthur Schopenhauer, erbjuder universum en lika pockande som gäckande gåta för varje tänkande person: ”Ju lägre stående en människa är i intellektuellt avseende, desto mindre förbryllande och mystisk ter sig själva existensen för henne.” Det vill säga: Har man bara något bakom pannbenet, så inser man att tillvaron är obegriplig: inte bara till sin natur, utan i det att den alls finns.Ska man tro honom? Tja, den som önskar belägg för hans tes kan i alla fall utan svårighet finna en uppsjö av intellektuellt ambitiösa personer som upptagits just av bryderier över existensens själva existens.1700-talstänkaren Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, till exempel, som efter att ha fastslagit sin berömda princip att varje sakförhållande också kan ges en fullständig förklaring, konstaterade att den första fråga som därpå infann sig var: ”Varför finns det något, snarare än ingenting?”En formulering som drygt två sekler senare ekade hos hans tyske kollega Martin Heidegger som också han ansattes av frågan: ”Varför är överhuvudtaget något varande, och inte snarare intet?”Han man väl låtit sig upptas av denna undran, bleknar alla andra gåtor bort i dess bländande sken. Som ett annat högstående intellekt vid namn Ludvig Wittgenstein formulerat det är det mystiska ”inte hur världen är, utan att den är”.Och varför är den då?Det visar sig att frågan har minst lika många svar som den har möjliga invändningar mot de givna svaren – som den har möjliga underkännanden av själva frågan.Till att börja med kan man ju undra hur ett tillfredsställande svar skulle kunna se ut? Vilken orsak till världens existens skulle inte i sin tur kräva en orsak, så att man i slutändan inte hade åstadkommit något alls?Leibniz själv tyckte sig kunna besvara frågan så snart han ställt den: Orsaken till världens existens är Gud.Jaha. Men vad är i så fall orsaken till att Gud finns?Jo, svarar Leibniz, det är Gud.Vilket är det som i Leibniz mening skiljer Gud och universum åt: Universum hade lika gärna inte kunnat existera, och därför kräver dess existens en förklaring. Gud, däremot, utgör sin egen nödvändighet: I Guds identitet, ingår egenskapen att han existerar. Orsaken till att Gud finns är Gud.Ett besläktat argument är det som går under det arabiska namnet Kalam, och som gör gällande att universum behöver förklaras eftersom det en gång har uppstått, medan Gud är ett tidlöst väsen som alltid har funnits, och som sådant kan förbli oförklarat.Utifrån ett sådant resonemang kan den kosmologiska teorin om världsalltets födelse i Big Bang för knappt 14 miljarder år sedan med en del god vilja betraktas som belägg för en övernaturlig varelses inblandning. Men å andra sidan kan man invända att de flesta varianter av Big Bang-modellen gör gällande att tiden uppstod först i och med ursmällen, så att universum faktiskt visst alltid har existerat, om man med alltid menar ”vid alla ögonblick i tiden”.Och därmed har man gett sig in på fysikernas försök att besvara den uppenbarligen svårbesvarade frågan om orsaken till världens existens. Varför något snarare än intet? Vad sägs om svaret: ”Därför att ett instabilt vakuum uppstod som en fluktuation i den absoluta intigheten, som i fysikaliska termer kan beskrivas som en sluten fyrdimensionell rumtid med radien noll. Detta vakuum genomsyrades av kvantfält vars fluktuationer i sin tur sådde fröet till det universum vi ser idag”?Ja, det får åtminstone mig att undra om allt ståhej kring frågan om existensens orsak åtminstone till viss del är ett resultat av de högtstående intellektens tendens att intellektualisera lite för mycket?För hur mycket har det intet som enligt Heidegger gör sig påmint i stunder av bottenlös förtvivlan eller oförstörd lycka, egentligen att göra med den teoretiska fysikens bild av ett universum som ännu inte finns? Kanske faktiskt nästan – intet?Men en sak kan man i alla fall säga om fysikernas rumtid utan utsträckning: Den är verkligen intet, mer intet än en tom rumtid, mer intet än ett tomt rum utan tid, mer intet än – ja, det mesta. Det enda som måste sägas ha funnits från början i denna modell är de naturlagar som tillåter ett kvantfält att tunnla fram ur detta totala intet. Men på vilket sätt fanns i så fall de?Frågan om varför det finns något för oss alltså oförhappandes vidare till frågan om huruvida fysikens lagar existerar inte bara oberoende av den mänskliga tanken, utan till och med oberoende av att det finns någon fysikalisk tillvaro som de kan beskriva. Och där har vi hamnat utan att vad det verkar ha kommit så särskilt mycket närmare ett svar på frågan om varför något existerar alls.Och ju mer man tänker på saken, desto mindre uppenbart tycks det att upptagenheten vid denna fråga är tecken på intellektuell finess. Är den i själva verket inte, som redan Immanuel Kant ville göra gällande, bara en effekt av att ha utvidgat idén om orsak och verkan längre än vad som är rimligt? Oavsett hur naturlig kausaliteten ter sig för oss, finns det nämligen mycket som tyder på att den inte gäller på de minsta partiklarnas kvantmekaniska nivå, och att universums födelse var en händelse då kvantmekaniken spelade roll har vi mycket goda skäl att tro. Och dessutom: Om tiden uppstod först i och med den stora smällen, hur är det möjligt att tala om en orsak som föregår den? Är det något som behövs för att orsakssamband ska kunna upprättas är det väl tid.För den som vill gå ännu djupare i sin kritik av frågan om varför något istället för intet, finns inte heller några hinder. Varför tycker vi exempelvis att existensen av något behöver motiveras, men inte existensen av intet? Varför ska intigheten på detta vis betraktas som ett naturligt grundtillstånd? Enligt filosofen Adolf Grünbaum är det ingen slump att frågan började ställas först i den moderna eran: De gamla grekerna upptogs inte av den, och inte heller antika indiska tänkare. Skälet? De var inte fostrade i den kristna tro som postulerar en skapelse ur intet, ex nihilo. Först i och med den kristna läran om en allsmäktig gud som häver existensen upp ur intet och därefter oupphörligt verkar för att upprätthålla den, skulle vi inte vara så övertygade om att varje avvikelse från intigheten kräver en förklaring. Detta alltså enligt Grünbaum. Som matematiker är jag också frestad att inflika att det finns många fler sätt att existera på, än det finns att inte existera på, vilket väl i sig är en sorts statistiskt argument för någontinget. Kanske är frågan om varför världen är i själva verket ett skenproblem?Ja, vem vet. Men hur som helst finns det också, vad Schopenhauer än påstod, tänkande personer som intar en helt annan hållning till problematiken än den djupsinnigt grubblande. Som exempelvis filosofen Sidney Morgenbesser, som när den eviga frågan ställdes till honom helt sonika snäste ifrån: ”Äsch! Även om det fanns intet skulle ni säkert inte vara nöjda ändå!”Helena Granströmförfattare med bakgrund inom fysik och matematikLitteraturJim Holt – Why does the world exist?

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.

L'arte può salvarci? In questa puntata di Cháos, Carlotta e Damiano ci accompagnano in un percorso nuovo tra bellezza, seduzione e liberazione, presi per mano da Schopenhauer e fianco a fianco con Mucha. Interviene Francesca Villanti, direttrice scientifica della mostra romana “Alphonse Mucha. Un trionfo di bellezza e seduzione”.

"Var Olma Lüksü"nün bu bölümünde, modern insanın en büyük huzursuzluklarından biri olan "hiçbir şey yapmama" halini, yani boşluğu ve can sıkıntısını masaya yatırıyoruz. Bu bir kişisel gelişim tavsiyesi ya da bir "yavaşlama" rehberi değil; sadece içinde bulunduğumuz gürültü çağının haritasını çıkarma girişimidir.Bu bölümde hangi duraklara uğruyoruz?Horror Vacui (Boşluk Korkusu): Neden asansör beklediğimiz o 15 saniyede bile telefona sarılıyoruz? Zihnimizdeki o boş kalma korkusu bizi hangi "oyalanma" (divertissement) araçlarına itiyor?Vita Contemplativa vs. Vita Activa: Hannah Arendt'in penceresinden, "eylem" odaklı bir dünyada "düşünsel hayatın" nasıl silindiğine bakıyoruz. Artık sadece "yapan" varlıklar mıyız, yoksa hâlâ "olan" varlıklar kalabildik mi?Schopenhauer'in Sarkacı: Arzunun tatmini ile acı arasında gidip gelirken, tam ortada duran o devasa boşluk: Can sıkıntısı. Bu boşluktan kaçmak için inşa ettiğimiz modern kaleler ne kadar güvenli?Nöroloji ve Varsayılan Mod Şebekesi (Default Mode Network): Bilim bize diyor ki; beyin "boş durduğunda" aslında en yaratıcı ve öz-farkındalığı yüksek moduna geçiyor. Peki biz bu şebekenin sesini dış gürültülerle ne kadar kısıyoruz?Yorgunluk Toplumu: Byung-Chul Han'ın perspektifiyle, kendi kendimizin hem efendisi hem de kölesi olduğumuz bu "performans çağında" dinlenmeyi bile neden bir verimlilik projesine dönüştürdük?Bu bölüm, bir anlatıcının gözünden, sessizliğin bir yokluk değil, aksine her şeyin içine yerleşebileceği en saf varlık alanı olduğunu hatırlatmayı amaçlıyor. Bir psikolog edasıyla çözüm sunmak yerine, sadece o sessiz odanın kapısını aralıyor ve içeride ne olduğuyla yüzleşmeyi dinleyiciye bırakıyorum.Var olma lüksünü, sadece "durabilme" becerisini hatırladığımız bir sohbet olması dileğiyle.Keyifli dinlemeler.***Yazan ve Seslendiren: Amanov ShamsaddinTags: var olma lüksü, vol podcast, amanov, shamsaddin amanov, var olma lüksü podcast, türkçe podcast, podcast dinle, en iyi podcastler, podcast önerileri, yeni podcast, spotify podcast, apple podcast türkiye, yerli podcast, popüler podcastler, podcast dünyası, sesli içerik, entelektüel podcast, genel kültür, entelektüel sohbetler, ufuk açıcı içerikler, derin mevzular, düşünce kanalları, zihin açıcı podcastler, bilgi odaklı içerik, eğitici podcastler, bilgilendirici podcastler, sesli makale, sesli kitap, makale dinle, sesli kütüphane, kitap özetleri, analiz ve perspektif, eleştirel düşünme, sorgulama, vizyon geliştirme, kendini geliştirmek, kişisel gelişim, zihinsel gelişim, hayat dersleri, yaşam felsefesi, varoluş, farkındalık, perspektif, derin sohbet, beyin fırtınası, insan doğası, kültürel gelişim, entelektüel birikim, bilgece yaşamak, ne dinlesem, günün podcasti, yolda dinlenecek podcastler, kaliteli podcastler, podcast listesi, podcast türkçe, türkiye podcast, sesli anlatım, anlatıcı, dijital kütüphane, araştırma, yeni bilgiler, zihin egzersizi, entelektüel gelişim, öğrenme odaklı, bakış açısı, gerçekler, toplumsal analiz, modern dünya, düşündüren konular, sesli hikaye, radyo tiyatrosu tadında, ücretsiz sesli içerik, dinle, podcast kanalı, vol, entelektüel youtube kanalı, derin düşünce, felsefe podcast, psikoloji podcast, sanat ve bilim, edebiyat sohbetleri, tarih sohbetleri, kişisel farkındalık, özgün içerik, podcast türkiye sıralaması, podcast önerisi türkçe, kültürel miras, akıl ve mantık, makale özetleri, akademik bilgi, sosyal bilimler podcast, düşünen insan, bilgi dünyası, ilham veren konuşmalar, verimli zaman geçirmek, uyumadan önce dinlecek podcast, spor yaparken dinlecek podcast, ders çalışırken dinlecek podcast, podcast yayınları, sesli arşiv.

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.

HER SABAH AYNI YORGUNLUKLA UYANIYOR, AYNI TAŞI TEPEYE Mİ TAŞIYORSUNUZ? Schopenhauer'a göre hayat acı ile can sıkıntısı arasında bir sarkaçtır. Peki, Camus'a göre bu "saçma" döngüden kurtulmanın yolu ne? Bu bölümde, Sisifos'un lanetini ve Bukowski'nin "Sonuna Kadar Git" felsefesini konuşuyoruz."EĞER DENEYECEKSEN, SONUNA KADAR GİT. YOKSA HİÇ BAŞLAMA BİLE."Gözümüzü açtığımız o ilk an... Sıcak yatağı bırakıp, tekrar o soğuk ve zorunluluklarla dolu dünyaya adım attığımız o an. Hepimiz modern zamanın Sisifos'ları mıyız? Her gün o kayayı tepeye taşıyıp, akşam olduğunda aşağı yuvarlanışını mı izliyoruz?Bu bölümde, varoluşun en zor sorusuyla yüzleşiyoruz: "Hayat yaşamaya değer mi?"

Weltgeist's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WeltgeistYTIn Untimely Reflections #39, we discuss Schopenhauer's view of history, love of fate, and the meaning of life.

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ Wehry sits down with Dr. David Bather Woods to explore the remarkable life behind one of history's most influential—and misunderstood—thinkers: Arthur Schopenhauer.Drawing from his new book, Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist, Dr. Bather Woods reveals how Schopenhauer's turbulent biography shaped his philosophy, why his ideas resonated so late in life, and how a man famous for pessimism became a surprising influence on artists, feminists, early advocates for animal welfare, and even modern conversations about compassion.Whether you're new to Schopenhauer or already fascinated by his work, this episode offers an accessible, engaging guide to the man whose ideas shaped Nietzsche, inspired generations of artists, and still challenge how we think about suffering, meaning, and how to live well.If you're interested in philosophy, biography, pessimism, ethics, German idealism, or the history of ideas, this conversation is for you.Make sure to check out Dr. Woods' book: Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist

Leven is lijden. We zijn allemaal wel eens de lijdende mens geweest. Het leven is nu eenmaal niet altijd leuk. Maar wat moeten we dan met dat lijden? Het vermijden, of er juist betekenis in proberen te vinden? Theatermakers Emma Linssen en Dinda Provily gaan in Arthur & Friedrich, een nacht in Bayreuth op zoek naar antwoorden bij de twee grote filosofen Schopenhauer en Nietzsche. Luister naar fragmenten uit hun nieuwe theaterstuk en luister naar zorgethicus Els van Wijngaarden en theoloog Annemarieke van der Woude over de lijdende mens.

He is the author of three books, the latest one being Schopenhauer's Politics. In this episode, we focus on Schopenhauer's Politics. We start by talking about the most common ideas about Schopenhauer as a political philosopher. We then discuss his ethics of compassion, his historical and political context, and his relation to the political thinkers of his time. We then go through his ideas about the role of the state; religious institutions; the connection between the rational governance of society and the rational self-control of the individual; his philosophy of sociability; his engagement with Kant and Hegel's political philosophy; his thoughts on liberalism, conservatism, nationalism, and socialism; his thoughts on aristocracy and epistocracy; the US and republicanism; and China's political system.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

On episode 246, we welcome David Bather Woods to discuss the life and philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, how his father's suicide shaped his beliefs about suicide, suffering as the source of compassion, happiness as the negation of pain, Schopenhauer's anti-slavery sentiment, his difficult relationship with Marxist thought and its thinkers, whether writing about changing the world for the better can be enough, why he believed life was worth living, and whether it's fair to judge his philosophy by his life and choices. David Bather Woods is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick. He is coeditor with Timothy Stoll of The Schopenhauerian Mind. He has contributed chapters to The Proustian Mind, Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy, and The Palgrave Schopenhauer Handbook.

Pünktlich zur gruseligen Jahreszeit wagen sich Micha und Wolfram in die düsteren, nebelverhangenen Wälder des Folk Horror – ein Subgenre, das tief in alten Mythen, lokaler Folklore und der Urangst vor dem Unbekannten verwurzelt ist. Als Ausgangspunkt für ihre Reise dient das diesjährige First-Person-Horror-Adventure One-Eyed Likho, das auf einer alten, russischen Sage basiert. Gemeinsam ergründen die beiden, was uns an diesen Geschichten über Generationen hinweg so fasziniert und warum die Neugier uns immer wieder an unheimliche Orte treibt, obwohl sie gefährlich für uns sein könnten.Doch bei einem einzelnen Spiel bleibt es natürlich nicht. Die Diskussion entfaltet sich zu einem massiven Rabbit Hole, das von den grausamen Warnungen der Brüder Grimm über moderne Film-Meisterwerke wie Midsommar und The Lighthouse bis hin zu philosophischen Fragen nach Schicksal, freiem Willen und der Banalität des Bösen reicht. Was haben die Lehren von Schopenhauer und Sartre mit Horrorspielen zu tun? Warum fühlen wir uns von der Isolation in Spielen wie Mundaun oder dem britischen Folk Horror in The Excavation of Hobbs Barrow so angezogen? Und was ist eigentlich mit asiatischer Folklore?Freut euch auf eine vollgepackte Folge, die euch zeigt, wie tief und bedeutungsvoll das Horrorgenre sein kann. Macht es euch gemütlich, zündet (metaphorisch) ein Licht an und begleitet Micha und Wolfram auf diesem unheimlichen Exkurs. Viel Spaß!-------Mundaun hat Micha damals mit Dom von OK Cool besprochen:https://insertmoin.de/mundaun-schweizer-folklore-als-handgemalter-horrortrip/-------Wusstet ihr, dass sowohl Wolfram und Micha elektronische Musik machen?

Ahead of their age, awaiting ours: Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche!

According to the Jewish tradition, we are in the High Holy Days. According to the news, we are in the lowest unholy days. Both are true. As global tensions escalate, this paradox points directly to the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita: The war to be concerned with is the inner battle between your ego and your soul. The Gita has inspired much of modern Western philosophy—from Schopenhauer and Hegel to Nietzsche and beyond—yet none of those thinkers got the real message being transmitted. Accurate understanding of the Gita's profound instructions is essential now for physical survival in this time of tribulation and, more importantly, for spiritual salvation.

The conclusion of our two-parter on Erich Heller, and the conclusion to season five! We discuss Nietzsche's friendship with Jacob Burckhardt, and how Burckhardt's view of history can inform our understanding of Nietzsche's divergence from him. We also consider Goethe's four ages of intellectual culture, and Nietzsche's echo of Goethe in his history of European nihilism, and how he comes to differ from Goethe, Schopenhauer and all his influences in his proclamations about history, in which the Overman shall transcend the cyclical, unchanging stagnation of human history by changing the nature of man himself. Finally, we consider what the hazard of modern poetry means for us in the present day, what each figure's answer to this divorce between symbol & real means, whether they succeeded or not, and what we can learn from them.

 Soon after the US bombing of Iran's nuclear sites in June, following Israel's bombings of the country, there was talk of the military operation going further: full war with Iran with the aim of regime change. But some, including critics of Teheran's theocratic and authoritarian government, warned against such a move. Can a county ever really be freed from an oppressive government through the violent intervention of an external power? Is such a move ever morally justified, even if strategically possible? And how does the complicated history and real-life politics of a region affect abstract philosophical arguments about justice? This interview is based on a piece in The Philosopher magazine, entitled  When Liberation Becomes Subjugation: The Moral Paradox of Regime Change in IranHossein Dabbagh is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Northeastern University London and an affiliated member of Oxford's Department for Continuing Education His work spans practical ethics, political philosophy, and Middle Eastern affairs, with a particular focus on Islamic political theology. He regularly contributes to public philosophy, writing on secularism and theocratic rule in Iran for Aeon, The Conversation, and other platforms, and has appeared on the BBC, combining philosophical analysis with regional expertise. Patrick Hassan is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Cardiff University. He is the author of Nietzsche's Struggle Against Pessimism (Cambridge University Press, 2023), and the editor of Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy (Routledge, 2021), as well as a range of peer-reviewed articles in ethics, aesthetics, and environmental and political philosophy.If you enjoyed the episode, please leave us a rating and a review on Apple Podcasts.This podcast is created in partnership with The Philosopher, the UK's longest running public philosophy journalm founded in 1923.

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.

Miroslav Volf on how to rightly love a radically ambivalent world.“The world, our planetary home, certainly needs to be changed, improved. But what it needs even more is to be rightly loved.”Miroslav Volf begins his 2025 Gifford Lectures at the University of Aberdeen with a provocative theological inquiry: What difference does belief in God make for our relationship to the world? Drawing deeply from Nietzsche's “death of God,” Schopenhauer's despair, and Hannah Arendt's vision of amor mundi, Volf explores the ambivalence of modern life—its beauty and horror, its resonance and alienation. Can we truly love the world, even amidst its chaos and collapse? Can a belief in the God of Jesus Christ provide motivation to love—not as appetite or utility, but as radical, unconditional affirmation? Volf suggests that faith offers not a retreat from reality, but an anchor amid its disorder—a trust that enables us to hope, even when the world's goodness seems impossible. This first lecture challenges us to consider the character of our relationship to the world, between atheism and theism, critique and love.Episode Highlights“The world, our planetary home, certainly needs to be changed, improved. But what it needs even more is to be rightly loved.”“Resonance seems both indispensable and insufficient. But what should supplement it? What should underpin it?”“Our love for that lived world is what these lectures are about.”“We can reject and hate one form of the world because we love the world as such.”“Though God is fully alive… we often find the same God asleep when our boats are about to capsize.”Helpful Links and ReferencesResonance by Hartmut RosaThe Human Condition by Hannah ArendtThis Life by Martin HägglundThe Home of God by Miroslav Volf and Ryan McAnnally-LinzThe City of God by AugustineDivine Comedy by DanteShow NotesPaul Nimmo introduces the Gifford Lectures and Miroslav Volf's themeVolf begins with gratitude and scope: belief in God and our worldIntroduces Nietzsche's “death of God” as cultural metaphorFrames plausibility vs. desirability of God's existenceIntroduces Hartmut Rosa's theory of resonanceProblem: resonance is not enough; what underpins motivation to care?Introduces amor mundi as thematic direction of the lecturesContrasts Marx's atheism and human liberation with Nietzsche's nihilismAnalyzes Dante and Beatrice in Hägglund's This LifeDistinguishes between “world” and “form of the world”Uses cruise ship metaphor to critique modern life's ambivalenceDiscusses Augustine, Hannah Arendt, and The Home of GodReflections on divine providence and theodicyBiblical images: flood, exile, and the sleeping GodEnds with preview of next lectures on Schopenhauer and NietzscheLet me know if you'd like episode-specific artwork prompts, promotional copy for social media, or a transcript excerpt formatted for publication.Production 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.

In this extended extract from their series 'Conversations in Philosophy', part of the LRB's Close Readings podcast, Jonathan Rée and James Wood look at one of Friedrich Nietzsche's early essays, 'Schopenhauer as Educator'. For Nietzsche, Schopenhauer's genius lay not in his ideas but in his heroic indifference, a thinker whose value to the world is as a liberator rather than a teacher, who shows us what philosophy is really for: to forget what we already know. ‘Schopenhauer as Educator' was written in 1874, when Nietzsche was 30, and was published in a collection with three other essays – on Wagner, David Strauss and the use of history – that has come to be titled Untimely Meditations. Jonathan and James consider the essays together and their powerful attack on the ethos of the age, railing against the greed and power of the state, fake art, overweening science, the triviality of universities and the deification of success.James Wood is a contributor to the LRB and staff writer at The New Yorker, whose books include The Broken Estate, How Fiction Works and a novel, Upstate.Jonathan Rée is a writer, philosopher and regular contributor to the LRB whose books include Witcraft and A Schoolmaster's War.To listen to the rest of this episode and all our other Close Readings series, sign up;In Apple Podcasts: https://lrb.me/nietzscheapplecrIn other podcast apps: https://lrb.me/nietzschesccr Hosted on Acast.

In philosophy of mind, panpsychism is the view that the mind or a mind-like aspect is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality. It is also described as a theory that "the mind is a fundamental feature of the world which exists throughout the universe". It is one of the oldest philosophical theories, and has been ascribed in some form to philosophers including Thales, Plato, Spinoza, Leibniz, Schopenhauer, William James, Alfred North Whitehead, and Bertrand Russell. In the 19th century, panpsychism was the default philosophy of mind in Western thought, but it saw a decline in the mid-20th century with the rise of logical positivism. Recent interest in the hard problem of consciousness and developments in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and quantum mechanics have revived interest in panpsychism in the 21st century because it addresses the hard problem directly.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monster-fuzz--4349429/support.

Dear Stef I was recently having some fun with ChatGPT and I was asking it if various historical figures such as Kant, Schopenhauer and Churchill are sexist to which it replied ‘Yes'. I then asked it ‘Is Stefan Molyneux sexist?' to which it replied (quoting):‘Yes, Stefan Molyneux, a controversial figure known for his online videos and advocacy of various far-right and anti-feminist viewpoints, has been widely criticized for promoting sexist ideas. His views on gender are often seen as regressive and aligned with traditionalist, anti-feminist beliefs.Here are some ways in which Molyneux has expressed sexist views:1. Misogyny and Gender Essentialism: Molyneux often promotes a rigid view of gender roles, suggesting that men and women have inherently different, and complementary, roles in society. He believes that men are naturally suited to leadership, rational thinking, and public life, while women are biologically inclined toward nurturing, domesticity, and emotional roles. These views align with an essentialist understanding of gender, where biological differences are used to justify inequalities in power and opportunity.2. Criticism of Feminism: Molyneux has been an outspoken critic of feminism, frequently claiming that it has "ruined" society by promoting the idea of gender equality and undermining traditional family structures. He dismisses feminism as a harmful ideology, accusing it of promoting victimhood and entitlement among women, while downplaying issues like domestic violence against men.3. Views on Relationships and Marriage: Molyneux often espouses a controversial view of relationships between men and women, promoting the idea that women are hypergamous (i.e., they are primarily interested in marrying men of higher status or resources) and that men should be wary of women's desires for financial support and social status. He has also advocated for "alpha male" behavior, claiming that men should assert dominance in relationships to maintain control and avoid being exploited by women.4. Denial of Gender Equality: Molyneux rejects the idea that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities in many areas of society, often citing his belief in traditional gender roles. For example, he has suggested that women are not suited for leadership roles in politics or business because they are driven by emotionality rather than reason.Molyneux's views are deeply controversial and are considered by many to be deeply sexist and out of step with contemporary gender equality movements. His rhetoric has been widely criticized for promoting harmful stereotypes about both women and men and for encouraging a backlash against feminist progress.'There seems to be an acknowledgment of some of your beliefs & truthful statements you have made but there also seems to be an unusual framing of your philosophy around women.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 4, 2025 is: schadenfreude • SHAH-dun-froy-duh • noun Schadenfreude refers to a feeling of enjoyment that comes from seeing or hearing about the troubles of other people. // Schadenfreude was felt by many viewers when the arrogant contestant was voted off the show. See the entry > Examples: “In 1995, Sox fans were overjoyed to see the Yankees get knocked out of the playoffs in a thrilling divisional series.... It was Boston schadenfreude, to be sure ...” — Chris Young, The Sun Chronicle (Attleboro, Massachusetts), 13 Sep. 2024 Did you know? Ever a popular lookup on our site, schadenfreude refers to the joy you might feel at another person's pain. It's a compound of the German nouns Schaden, meaning “damage,” and Freude, meaning “joy.” Schadenfreude was a favored subject in Germany by the time it was introduced to English in the mid-1800s; discussed by the likes of Schopenhauer, Kant, and Nietzsche, schadenfreude was showing up in psychology books, literature for children, and critical theory. In English, the word was used mostly by academics until the early 1990s, when it was introduced to more general audiences via pop culture. In a 1991 episode of The Simpsons, for example, Lisa explains schadenfreude to Homer, who is gloating at his neighbor's failure; she also tells him that the opposite of schadenfreude is sour grapes. “Boy,” he marvels, “those Germans have a word for everything.”
