How Schopenhauer can change your miserable life | Andy Owen | The Critic Magazine Philosopher David Bather Woods notes that there is a popular style of philosophical biography that presents the philosopher’s life as a model for how to live well. He tells us his new book on Arthur…

“Schopenhauer offers no easy remedies to a disease with no final cure, for the living at least, but Bather Woods successfully shows us if your eyes can adjust to his dark vision of the world, there is much to see” @andyowen.bsky.social
