Studies In Pessimism: The Essays Of Arthur Schopenhauer by T. Bailey Saunders
1.0
Holy crap never again.
For the first essays, I felt that this just wasn't for me, that I didn't have enough experience or training, time and patience to understand the thoughts and ideas.
But then I got to the essay on education, and I got it, and I could follow it. Not perfectly, bit good enough and it gave some interesting ideas.
But thennnn, I got to the essay on woman. I knew this essay was going to exist, before reading this. But holy crap, give "facts" with no backing and as statements that obviously true.
I understood every word and idea, so the problem with the essays were not my lack of knowledge or what have you, is just the author couldn't explain ideas and elaborate arguments in an understandable way, but rant he did very well.
Getting upset about the use of whips is understandable. When the upset comes from the noise the dumb people make not realising it affects the intellectuals a great deal... Hmm, great.
